Virginia Woolf Résumé

Virginia Woolf Alexandra Harris

Alexandra Harris's hugely acclaimed Romantic Moderns (winner of the 2010 Guardian First Book Award) overturned our picture of modernist culture during the interwar years. In her second book, which is newly available in paperback, she brings her attention to one of the towering figures of literary modernism. It is an intensely pleasurable read that weaves together the life and work of Virginia Woolf, and serves as an ideal introduction to both. Following the chronology of Woolf's life, it considers each of the novels in context, gives due prominence to her dazzlingly inventive essays, traces the contentious course of her 'afterlife' and shows why, seventy years after her death, Virginia Woolf continues to haunt and inspire us.

Virginia Woolf Avis

'This brief, elegant study offers the chance for greenhorns to get to know a fertile and adventurous writer in a few hours of enjoyable reading and for old hands to relish a dynamic, sympathetic portrait ... Harris gives vivid, succinct accounts of the astonishingly varied novels ... Harris's lively appreciation makes you hungry to read the wilder Woolf' - Independent
'Harris tells the story crisply and with personality, and the book is beautifully produced by Thames & Hudson' - Guardian
'Bestselling writer Alexandra Harris brings a new richness to a familiar narrative ... a masterclass in the art of slimming down scholarship without dumbing it down' - Sussex Life
'A wonderfully perceptive, unpretentious study which is pacy in style, riveting in content and perfectly accessible to the most obdurate Woolf-avoider ... by the final page Harris has made you desperate to tackle the novels, to get stuck in and to submerge yourself in Woolf's unmistakable, wholly original and imaginative responses to the world' - Daily Mail (Book of the Week)
'A miracle of clarity and concision' - Washington Post
