The publication of Granite and Rainbow brings to light twenty-seven of her essays on the art of fiction and the art of biography. Among them are some of her most eloquent and incisive pieces. Here we read her concept of what the novel of the future could be of the function of criticism of the role of the novelist involved in and yet detached from life. She gives a remarkably astute portrait of the early Hemingway critical estimates of George Meredith Henry James Lawrence Sterne Horace Walpole Walt Whitman Oliver Wendell Holmes and many others. Virginia Woolf said that the art of biography fuses the hard and solid granite of truth with the elusive beauty of a rainbow. This demand for precision and imagination was in all her own work as it is in this book. Virginia Woolf author of novels biographies literary criticism and essays died in England in I94I. Many of the essays in this new book were published anonymously in British and American journals and have only recently 1958 been discovered. -- From Editorial Note by Leonard Woolf.
