Description

Virginia Woolf's Essays on the Self is a thought-provoking collection that explores questions of identity and individual experience over two decades. Spanning from 1937 to 1958, these thirteen essays showcase Woolf's unique perspective on the world, tackling topics such as women's rights, modernity, social inequality, and the future of literature.

Throughout her writing, Woolf grapples with the idea of finding a distinct self through which to view the world. Her essays are characterized by their insight, nuance, and intellectual curiosity, offering readers a unique window into her thoughts on art, society, and human experience.

This collection is introduced by novelist Joanna Kavenna, who provides context for Woolf's work in this edition. With its thoughtful and engaging writing, Essays on the Self is an excellent choice for anyone interested in literary essays, feminist thought, or the works of Virginia Woolf.
