1932188625London: Leonard & Virginia Woolf at the Hogarth Press 1932. How should one read a book First edition an exceptionally bright example with a Hogarth Press advertisement for the works of Virginia Woolf loosely inserted. This copy is the second and last instalment in the Common Reader series following that of 1925. Woolf's writing was always "permeated with her reading" and in these essays she explores the works of many great authors alongside the context of their lives Lee p. 405. These previously published essays come together to reveal the strength of her literary criticism and analytical mind. The volume culminates in the influential and aptly titled "How should one read a book" in which Woolf details the process of reading as she perceives it and the space it should occupy in the life of the so-called 'Common Reader'. Octavo. Original green cloth spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket by Vanessa Bell. Closed tear to advertisement.
