This copy being that of Roger Senhouse bearing his ownership signature bookplate and a small piece of paper with notes in his hand regarding the printing of Monday or Tuesday. About near fine with light rubbing to boards offsetting to endpapers and a few spots of foxing. Roger Senhouse was a publisher at Secker and Warburg and member of the Bloomsbury Group. Senhouse noted in pencil on front free endpaper: 1000 copies / The Prompt Press. Indeed the Woolfs had this work printed by F. T. McDermott of the Prompt Press in Richmond. 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.

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

1925109732London: Hogarth Press 1925. First edition of one of Woolf's best-known novels one of only 2000 copies. Octavo original cloth. Near fine in the original dust jacket with some expert restoration. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. "In Mrs. Dalloway Woolf breaks decisively with the fictional conventions of the realistic novel. The technique is almost orchestral introducing and then interweaving the strains of the different characters' thoughts and finally engineering through a subtle sequence of readjustments and realignments a new and delicate harmony between them at the close of the book. Mrs. Dalloway thus initiated Woolf's sequence of radical experiments with literary form embodying a striking combination of fluid sympathy and secret resistance. Through the novel's rapid transitions between apparently disconnected but secretly related stories Woolf was able to suggest the hazards of neatly pigeonholing human character according to social situation or gender" Parker 110-11. in 2005 it was included on Time's list of the 100 best English-language novels written since 1923. It was adapted to the 1997 film starring Vanessa Redgrave in the title role. Hogarth Press hardcover books
