Caramagno University of California Press, 1996 Is Tommy a manic? I'M NOT QUITE SURE, BUT I FEAR THAT MR CARAMAGNO MIGHT BE MANIC IN HIS OWN WAY. HIS CONCLUSIONS ARE ALL WRONG, YET SINCE HE WATCHES SEINFELD, I GIVE HIM 4 1/2 STARS.             A Haunted House and Other Short Stories1 review Virginia Woolf, Leonard Woolf Harvest Books, 2002 Uplifting! A friend tried to explain what Virginia Wolfe is all about ("She ties it all together in the end.") by letting me read the first short story in this book. What a lovely, lovely story it is!

Norton & Company, 2001 When A Masterpiece May Need An Advocate This paperback-only book is a Masterpiece, and frankly one of the best books written about Virginia Woolf. Certainly, books abound about her - but they were not written by this author and insider with vast connections to both Virginia and Leonard Woolf. Also, aside from the substantive content, the ...             Virginia Woolf' Renaissance: Woman Reader or Common Reader?

For a person who doesn't read much non-fiction, this book is a bit overwhelming. With that said, it should be said that this book is also one of the most thoroughly researched books I've read on Virginia Woolf. Woolf is one of my favorite authors.

What you will learn from this book is the spectacularly heroic efforts VW expended moment to ...             The Diary of Virginia Woolf, Vol. 3: 1925-301 review Virginia Woolf Harvest Books, 1981 Simply beautiful Of all of Virginia's diaries (there are five volumes), volumes 3 and 4 are perhaps the most interesting, if only because they span the period in which she wrote her classics such as Orlando, To The Lighthouse, and The Waves (which itself literally spans the period between Vol 3 and Vol 4.) If you ...             On Being Ill4 reviews Virginia Woolf Paris Press, 2002 MUST READ + A glowing perspective + A precious gift to readers On Being Ill is a small masterpiece. This is a unique book--compassionate, intelligent, affirming, and comforting, both for the "healthy" among us, and those who have experienced illness. This is Woolf at her best: brilliant, daring, probing, and Hermione Lee's Introduction is a gem. Also, for ...             Virginia Woolf: To the Lighthouse / The Waves2 reviews Columbia University Press, 1999 a useful collection of reviews + a useful collection of reviews If you're a woolf student this book may be useful to have a complete panorama of the critical situation on two of her major books.

I almost threw this book away after reading the first few pages. Author Coates is completely off her rocker. She tries to argue that Leonard Woolf was responsible for his wife's supposed madness. Her argument falls apart in the first few pages when Coates notes that Virginia Woolf had two ...             Vita and Virginia: The Work and Friendship of V.

I was dismayed to see that Peter Dally's magnificent tour de force was not being recognized as such. Frankly, it is beyond comprehension that this would be so! One cannot ...             Melymbrosia: A Novel1 review Virginia Woolf Cleis Press, 2002 A passionate journey Woolf's first novel "Melymbrosia" was completed in 1912, but wasn't published until 1915 under the title "The Voyage Out".

Nonetheless, every book in the series that I have read is critically solid, lavishly ...
