Description
First published in 1925, this collection of essays by Virginia Woolf offers a unique perspective on literature from the point of view of the 'common reader'.
Woolf's work is an eccentric and unofficial literary history spanning four centuries, covering topics such as medieval England, tsarist Russia, Elizabethan playwrights, Victorian novelists, and modern essayists.
Written with her characteristic imagination and gaiety, this book showcases Woolf's remarkable prose and addresses her 'common reader' in a way that is both engaging and insightful.
