Description
The Wise Virgins A Story of Words, Opinions and a Few Emotions by Leonard Woolf is a semi-autobiographical novel that explores a dilemma faced by its hero: whether to pursue a conventional path or follow his artistic ambitions. The result is a witty and perceptive social comedy that tackles the prejudices of the time with great candour. Woolf's writing is marked by clever dialogue and biting satire, making for a humorous yet poignant read. The novel's dramatic denouement still retains its power to shock, making it a compelling and thought-provoking experience. First published in 1913, this edition was re-released in 2003 by Persephone Books. With its insightful portrayal of love, identity, and social expectations, The Wise Virgins is a fascinating read for anyone interested in literary fiction.
