192569152 Tavistock Square London: Leonard and Virginia Woolf at The Hogarth Press 1925. Near fine / Fine. <p>Octavo. Beautifully bound by Sangorski and Sutcliffe of London in twentieth century 3/4 red morocco and red cloth back in six compartments gilt lettered in the second and third dated "1925" in sixth five raised bands top edge gilt cream endpapers portion of original front board and spine bound in at conclusion of text. Minor foxing to prelims a near fine copy in a gorgeous contemporary binding. <br /> <br /> First edition first impression. Published 14 May 1925; c. 2000 copies printed and sold at 7s. 6d. "We find it in Woolf's decision to turn Clarissa Dalloway a minor character in her first novel The Voyage Out 1915 into the main character of her story 'Mrs. Dalloway in Bond Street' 1923 - and then after discovering that Clarissa clamored for more life in her slow surrender to the novel. We find it stitched through her largest revision to the book: the creation of Septimus as Clarissa's double so as to entwine the story of an aging wealthy vivacious woman with the story of the First World War and its consequences. Her most famous diary entry about Mrs. Dalloway presents the two characters as metaphysical and political extremes: 'I want to give life & death sanity & insanity; I want to criticise the social system & to show it at work at its most intense.' Yet as soon as she voiced this she retracted it. 'But here I may be posing' she wrote." - Merve Emre The New Yorker 28 August 2021. I think not.</p> . KIRKPATRICK & CLARKE A9a; WOOLMER 82.

Leonard's stories outsold all but Gorky's second book The Notebooks of Tchekhov and Virginia's Monday or Tuesday and in the scale of press operations it was perhaps its most successful venture.In March 1915 Leonard and Virginia Woolf had moved to Hogarth House Richmond and were experiencing a particularly turbulent time in their lives. Virginia's first novel The Voyage Out was published that same year and in an attempt to find an activity to occupy themselves with Leonard suggested they purchase a book press. Along with some old typeface and some necessary implements and materials they set about the task with enthusiasm and their first work a collection of two short stories by Virginia was printed in July 1917. All in all sixteen of the thirty-two books which were published during the years that the press was in Richmond 1917 to 1924 were printed by the Woolfs' own hand. A collection of three short stories 'Pearls and Swine' 'A Tale Told by Midnight' and 'The Two Brahmans' each story painting a picture of Leonard Woolf's fear and mistrust of colonialism as well as the uncomfortable moral ground occupied by the servants of the British Government in Ceylon prior to the Great War. unknown

First Edition. 8vo. 312pp. Edited with a preface by Leonard Woolf. <br /> <br /> Inscribed on the ffe.: "Though actually the gift of Patrick Pritchard I ventured to sign it as an editorial offering to Iris Birtwistle Leonard Woolf Christmas. 1953". <br /> Presumably one of his house copies in orange cloth gilt titles to the spine that he gave as a gift.<br /> <br /> Also included in the book is a postcard addressed to Miss Birtwistle dated January 26 1954 from Mrs. Patrick Pritchard from Surrey: "Have you seen page 346 of V. Woolf's book - 10th line form the bottom refers to Dee" That page talks about the recent bombings in London and mentions Patrick Pritchard and others.<br /> <br /> Iris Mary Birtwistle was a poet and gallery owner. George Pritchard was a solicitor who as the story goes gave the collection of letters he kept at home by Virginia Woolf Leonard Woolf Leslie Stephen Lytton Strachey Maynard Keynes letters and others to his son Patrick Prichard who passed them on to his wife who later sold them all to a dealer in New York City which caused some unpleasant controversy about their provenance according to Leonard Woolf's biography.<br /> <br /> A WRITER'S DIARY Reveals glimpses of Virginia Woolf & essential for an understanding of her writing methods & how her thought process influenced her life & relationships. It was not until Woolf's full Diaries were published that they were recognized with her letters as companion as her literary masterpieces. Virginia Woolf kept her diaries from 1915 until her death in 1941. Her husband Leonard Woolf notes in his preface that her "diary gives for 27 years a consecutive record of what she did of the people whom she saw and particularly of what she thought about those people about herself about life and about the books she was writing or hoped to write." Leonard Woolf has here excerpted his wife's diaries from 1918 through 1941 including every reference his wife's diaries made to her own writing. The resulting book "throws light upon Virginia Woolf's intentions objects and methods as a writer. It gives an unusual psychological picture of artistic production from within."

A lovely fresh copy.<br/>Virginia Woolf 1882-1941 English novelist essayist and critic married the political theorist Leonard Woolf in 1912 with whom she established the Hogarth Press. MONDAY OR TUESDAY was the first Hogarth Press title to be included in the Annals of English Literature 1475-1950. It was Woolf's "break out" book and it was noted that with this collection of short stories Mrs. Woolf "emerged definitely with the liveliest imagination and most delicate style of her time." Vanessa Bell 1879-1961 elder sister of Virginia Woolf was herself a talented artist. She designed a number of dust jackets for books published by her sister's press as well as illustrating the books. In her art she attempted to break the bonds of restrictive Victorian norms. She and the other members of the Bloomsbury group made significant efforts to introduce the French avant-garde to an English audience. Bell's art often decorative and especially in the period represented in this book owes much to Bonnard Vuillard and Matisse. The Hogarth Press unknown books

Monday or Tuesday is a collection of eight of Woolf's short stories. In addition to the title story "Monday or Tuesday" this volume contains "A Haunted House" "A Society" "The String Quartet" "Blue & Green" and three previously published stories. Monday or Tuesday marked an experimental departure from the realism that hallmarked Woolf's earlier texts Night and Day and The Voyage Out. Similarly Vanessa Bell's striking black and white woodcut engravings that illustrate this volume are stylistically different than her usually colorful paintings. Although she wrote short stories and sketches throughout her writing career this is the only collection to be published during Woolf's lifetime. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine.

Club of Buenos Aires have done me in inviting me in such generous terms to attend the Congress in August 1936. I have taken some days in which to consider the matter; but I much regret to say that much as I should like to come I fear it is impossible for me to arrange it. My engagements here are such that I could not be out of England for so long a time as would be necessary. Therefore I am reluctantly obliged to decline your offer. But I need hardly say how much I appreciate the great generosity which you have shown me both in wishing for my presence and in offering to defray the costs of the journey. It is with the greatest regret that I find myseld sic unable to avail myself of so great an opportunity for visiting your country and making acquaintance with your work. Believe me dear Sir with profound gratitude and best wishes Very sincerely Virginia Woolf." Not in "Collected Letters" edited by Nigel Nicolson.
