The Common Reader: First Series, Annotated Edition3 reviews
Virginia Woolf

Harvest/HBJ Book, 2002

A Must Read Gem

+ An uncommon writer and the common reader
+ Uncommonly Good Read

As background information, I read most of her work starting with her first novel "The Voyage Out" published in 1915, skipped her second novel - which is considered to be a flop, Night and Day from 1919 - and then read "Jacob's Room," her third, then went on and read "Mrs. Dalloway," her fourth, and ...

Harvest Books, 1974

A supreme artist at work

Woolf is an outstanding essayist. This work edited and put together by her husband Leonard Woolf is her last volume of essays. It contains essays on a wide variety of subjects beginning with her careful depiction of the 'Death of a Moth' and containing essays on Henry James, Madame de Sevigne, the ...
  
  











  



  
Monday or Tuesday: Eight Stories (Dover Thrift Editions)3 reviews
Virginia Woolf

Dover Publications, 1997

Classic Woolf

+ Eight challenging pieces by a master prose stylist
+ Monday or Tuesday: Eight Stories

This volume of short stories is a good re-introduction to an author most of us probably haven't seen since High School. The stories are engaging and thought-provoking, and the length is manageable even to someone out of practice with the stream of conciousness style. I carried this book to read ...

A True Masterpiece for all Time.

+ Excellent!
+ Anticipation

If an immortal were to ask me what is is like to be mortal, and live with a family and with time and with age, I would hand him this book, and feel confident that he would get a grasp of our experience. Mrs. Woolf has gathered the dimension of time in this novel through simple passages of ...
  
  











  



  
A Room of One's Own, and Three Guineas (Oxford World's Classics)
Virginia Woolf

Oxford Paperbacks, 1998

In A Room of One's Own and Three Guineas, Virginia Woolf considers with energy and wit the implications of the historical exclusion of women from education and from economic independence. In A Room of One's Own (1929), she examines the work of past women writers, and looks ahead to a time when women's creativity will not be hampered by poverty, or by oppression. In Three Guineas (1938), however, ...

The Moment, and Other Essays (Harvest Book, Hb 295)1 review
Virginia Woolf

Harvest/HBJ Book, 1974

When She Was Alive

What would her best book be, one wonders . . . perhaps MRS. DALLOWAY or A ROOM OF ONE'S OWN or BETWEEN THE ACTS or maybe, in a funny mood, THE WAVES. THE MOMENT must be pretty low down on anybody;s, wouldn;t you think? She didn't even mean for it to be a book, instead after she died Leonard Woolf ...
  
  











  



  
Virginia Woolf A to Z: A Comprehensive Reference for Students, Teachers, and Common Readers to Her Life, ...2 reviews
Mark Hussey

Oxford University Press, USA, 1996

Excellent resource

+ A must!

This book supplemented a course I took on the works of Woolf. It is filled with interesting background material and helpful character biographies. Hussey skillfully condensed volumes of biographical and critical work on Woolf into one, user-friendly manual.
  
  











  



  
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! I cannot say more without giving it away, but I will only tell you that I re-read it several times to grab ...

Captain's Death Bed & Other Essays: And Other Essays
Virginia Woolf

Harvest/HBJ Book, 1973

These twenty-five short essays demonstrate the beauty of style, the wit, and the sensibility for which Woolf is admired. "This book contains...the same delicious things to read as always....Virginia Woolf was a great artist, one of the glories of our time, and she never published a line that was not worth reading" (Katherine Anne Porter). Editorial Note by Leonard Woolf.

The Second Common Reader: Annotated Edition1 review
Virginia Woolf

Harvest Books, 2003

Woolf's essays present the author's stream of consciousness.

The Second Common Reader is merely an extension of Woolf's own literary genius as she enters into the minds of authors such as Donne, Hardy, DeFoe and Swift, among others. She uses her "stream of consciousness" literary tool to incorporate the life of the writer into his or her own work. This ...

Pam "Book Club Sin Nombre"

+ Woolf's response to Plato
+ A glorious book

Our book club in Cancun read it for April. We can be a critical group, but this one received nothing but praise from those of us who actually FINISHED it. Through the night the message was "It's well worth it! Stick with it!" It is confusing at the beginning for those of us who've been reading ...
