Description
The Common Reader is an informal and witty celebration of our literary heritage by Virginia Woolf. In this second series of essays, she turns her brilliant eye on novels and poetry from John Donne to Christina Rossetti and Mary Wollstonecraft, among others.
Woolf's focus is on the 'common reader' - someone who reads for their own pleasure, rather than to impart knowledge or correct the opinions of others. This book is an informative and engaging exploration of our social and literary past, written by a writer of genius.
