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

1915140940247London: Duckworth & Co 1915. First Edition. Trial Binding. Very Good. First edition first printing. iv 458 6 16 ads pp. The author's first book. Bound in what appears to be a publisher's trial binding: dark blue cloth triple ruled in blind on upper board with spine lettered in gilt and decorated with floral device in blind; lacking the dust jacket. J. Kirkpatrick notes a similar apparition appearing almost three-quarters of a century ago in A Bibliography of Virginia Woolf "a copy in red cloth lettered in gold on the spine and on the upper cover with the floral device and motto in blind on the lower cover was advertised in Raphael King Ltd's catalogue No. 52 1951 and is now in the Robert H. Taylor Collection Princeton University Library. It is probably a trial binding." In contrast the usual binding is green cloth with the spine lettered in gilt and paneled title block in black to upper board. Very Good. Lean to binding. Small faint stain to front cover. Spine lightly rubbed at ends slightly faded and gilt dulled. Top edge dust-soiled. Foxing to textblock edge preliminary terminal pages. Woolf began writing her first novel in 1910 and completed several drafts before its publication in 1915. It was a difficult five years for Woolf in which she suffered from bouts of depression and a suicide attempt but the final work contained seeds of what would later become her trademark: an innovative narrative style a focus on feminine consciousness sexuality and death.
