Description:

First edition. After stating that L. Stephen's 1832-1904 "writings are of greater interest than his life and that to understand Stephen is to understand Evangelical morality and Victorian rationalism...," the author proceeds to demonstrate this by giving first a biography with elements of psychobiography, but then interpreting this in the light of Victorian intellectual and moral issues in the process also giving a survey of Victorian intellectuality . Readers of To the Lighthouse are already somewhat acquainted with Stephen in the figure of Mr. Ramsay, Virginia Wolff's portrait or caricature of her father, and those consulting the DNB use a work of which he was the first editor. Review copy with printed slip and handwritten note laid in. Some soiling of dust jacket. xvi, 432 pages. cloth, dust jacket.. large 8vo..
