Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf was clearly one of the great writers of the past century, but in what does her greatness consists? muses Anthony Curtis. This book is an attempt to answer that question. It also places the author of "A Room of One's Own" firmly on a par with writers such as Simone de Beauvoir and therefore within the study remit of courses on feminist literature. This title is richly illustrated with photographs of the private sphere of the Bloomsbury Group and public places of the London of Woolf's time.
