The Letters of Virginia Woolf Vol. I-V.

Összefoglaló

Volume One, 1888-1912
A collection of Virginia Woolf's correspondence from age six to the eve of her marriage twenty-four years later.

Volume Two, 1912-1922
Over six hundred letters covering the first decade of the Woolfs' marriage; the publication of The Voyage Out, Night and Day, and Jacob's Room; the founding of Hogarth Press; the years of World War I; Virginia's two periods of insanity and an attempted suicide.

Volume Three, 1923-1928
Now in her forties and in love, Woolf writes two of her greatest novels during this period. "I can only write, letters that is, if I don't read them: once think and I destroy."-to Pernel Strachey

Volume Four, 1929-1931
These years were dominated by one woman and one book. The woman was Ethel Smyth; the book was The Waves. This volume's "unerringly human and confessional tone makes Woolf, at last, a real person"

Volume Five: 1932-1935
The penultimate volume of Woolf's letters, when the author was between the ages of 50 and 53, covers the composition of the Years and the death of Lytton Strachey and Roger Fry. "Her wit flashes, often unexpectedly, in letters of almost every kind" (New Yorker)

Without the final, the sixth volume
