Simultaneously the last novel to be published and the most widely read during the author's lifetime The Years traces the history of the members of the Pargiter family from the 1880s to the 1930s. While the plot spans 50 years the text is more a collection of vignettes each of which represents a single moment of a given year. The Years began as a lecture Woolf gave in 1931 to the National Society for Women's Service. Building upon the issues generated in her previous novel A Room of One's Own 1929 she wanted to take a broader view of women's social and economic lives. The Years began as a series of essays with each followed by a novelistic passage; in the end only the novelistic passages were included and the essays were collected as Three Guineas 1938.

Widely regarded as one of her greatest and most original works it conveys the rhythm of life in synchrony with the cycle of nature and the passage of time. Six children -- Bernard Susan Rhoda Neville Jinny and Louis -- meet in a garden close to the sea their voices sounding over the constant echo of the waves that role back and forth from the shore. The subsequent continuity of these six characters as they develop from childhood to maturity and follow different passions and ambitions is interspersed with the timeless and unifying chorus of nature.The Waves is Woolf's searching exploration of individual and collective identity" Parsons. A demanding and beautiful read The Waves was hailed as a masterpiece in its own time. "The book is as it were a piece of subtle penetrating magic. The substance of life as we are accustomed to seeing it in fiction is transposed and the form of the novel transmuted to match it.A glittering rain of impressions and reactions" Contemporary Times Literary Supplement. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. The Hogarth Press unknown books

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

Kirkpatrick notes that McDermott gave Leonard printing advice during the infancy of the Hogarth Press. However notes in Senhouses hand on a small piece of paper laid in to this copy tell Leonards story from a different angle. An attractive copy with a fantastic Bloomsbury Group association and humorous insight into the early days of the Hogarth Press. Kirkpatrick A5a. Woolmer 17. 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.

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.
