From Victorian England to fifteenth- century Norfolk, and pre-war London to Mount Pentelicus, Virginia Woolf offers a series of fictional impressions of women finding their place in the world around them. At once exquisitely drawn and brilliantly haunting, these snapshots of life are a remarkable testament to
the narrative powers of one of Britain’s best-loved novelists, and an insight into some of her perennial interests – namely her fascination with the role of the biographer, the literature of Greece and the loneliness of early twentieth-century London.
This collection of five of Virginia Woolf’s earliest stories explores the role of women in society, and hints at the stylistic form that would go on to define her later writing.
Sobre o autor
Virginia Woolf was one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century. Her experimental style, in particular her use of the stream-of-consciousness technique – as exemplified in her master- pieces Mrs Dalloway, The Waves and To the Lighthouse – marks her out as a key figure in the Modernist movement.
