Six friends traverse the uneven road of life together in Virginia Woolfs most unconventional classic. Bernard, Jinny, Louis, Neville, Rhoda and Susan first meet as children by the sea, and their lives are forever changed.
A poetic novel written in a lyrical way only Woolf could master, these narrators face both triumph and tragedy that touches them all. Throughout their lives, they examine the relationship between past and present, and the meaning of life itself.
A landmark of innovative fiction and the most experimental of Virginia Woolfs novels, The Waves is still regarded as one of the greatest works ever written in the English language.

Orlando had become a woman — there is no denying it. But in every other respect, Orlando remained precisely as he had been. The change of sex, though it altered their future, did nothing whatever to alter their identity.
Boisterous and defiant, Virginia Woolfs queer classic subverts restraints of genre, time and gender. Traversing the complexities of human emotion and societys obsession with conformity, the wild adventures of Woolfs gender fluid hero begin in Elizabethan England and end in 1928 — yet Orlando ages just 36 years.
A satirical romp that spans over three hundred years of history, Woolfs fantastical biography was decades ahead of its time.

He reads for his own pleasure rather than to impart knowledge or correct the opinions of others.
So Virginia Woolf described the common reader for whom she wrote her second series of essays. Here she turns her brilliant eye on novels and poetry from John Donne to Christina Rossetti and Mary Wollstonecraft as well as many others. This is an informal, informative and witty celebration of our literary and social heritage by a writer of genius.

Virginia Woolf began writing reviews for the Guardian to make a few pence from her fathers death in 1904, and continued until the last decade of her life. The result is a phenomenal collection of articles, of which this selection offers a fascinating glimpse, which display the gifts of a dazzling social and literary critic as well as the development of a brilliant and influential novelist. From reflections on class and education, to slyly ironic reviews, musings on the lives of great men and Street Haunting, a superlative tour of her London neighbourhood, this is Woolf at her most thoughtful and entertaining.

The finest and most enjoyable of Virginia Woolfs letters are brought together in a single volume. It is a marvellous collection — spontaneous, witty, often flirtatious and powerfully moving. Whether bemoaning some domestic travail, commenting publicly on the state of the nation, or discussing cultural, artistic or personal concerns, Virginia Woolf is one of the great correspondents. This volume displays not only Woolfs courage and brilliance, her generosity and love of gossip, but also her genius for close and enduring friendship.

Virginia Woolf turned to her diary as to an intimate friend, to whom she could freely and spontaneously confide her thoughts on public events or the joys and trials of domestic life. Between 1st January 1915 and her death in 1941 she regularly recorded her thoughts with unfailing grace, courage, honesty and wit. The result is one of the greatest diaries in the English language.

Virginia Woolfs only autobiographical writing is to be found in this collection of five unpublished pieces. Despite Quentin Bells comprehensive biography and numerous recent studies of her, the authors own account of her early life holds new fascination — for its unexpected detail, the strength of its emotion, and its clear-sighted judgement of Victorian values.
In Reminiscences Virginia Woolf focuses on the death of her mother, the greatest disaster that could happen, and its effect on her father, the demanding patriarch who took a high toll of the women in his household. She surveys some of the same ground in A Sketch of the Past, the most important memoir in this collection, which she wrote with greater detachment and supreme command of her art shortly before her death.
Readers will be struck by the extent to which she drew on these early experiences for her novels, as she tells how she exorcised the obsessive presence of her mother by writing To the Lighthouse. The last three papers were composed to be read to the Memoir Club, a postwar regrouping of Bloomsbury, which exacted absolute candour of its members. Virginia Woolfs contributions were not only bold but also original and amusing. She describes George Duckworths passionate efforts to launch the Stephen girls; gives her own version of Old Bloomsbury; and, with wit and some malice, reflects on her connections with titled society.

Ranging from the silent fate of Shakespeares gifted imaginary sister to Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte and the effects of poverty and sexual constraint on female creativity, A Room of Ones Own, based on a lecture given by Woolf at Girton College, Cambridge, is one of the great feminist polemics. Published almost a decade later, Three Guineas breaks new ground in its discussion of men, militarism and womens attitudes towards war. These two pieces reveal Virginia Woolfs indomitable spirit, sophisticated wit and genius as an essayist.

Virginia Woolf exposes the prejudices and constraints against which women writers struggled for centuries, and argues for a more equal literary establishment.
This volume combines two books which were among the greatest contributions to feminist literature this century. Together they form a brilliant attack on sexual inequality. A Room of Ones Own, first published in 1929, is a witty, urbane and persuasive argument against the intellectual subjection of women, particularly women writers. The sequel, Three Guineas, is a passionate polemic which draws a startling comparison between the tyrannous hypocrisy of the Victorian patriarchal system and the evils of fascism.

What conditions are necessary for the creation of works of art? Security, confidence, independence, a degree of prosperity — a room of ones own. All things denied to most women around the world living in Virginia Woolfs time, and before her time, and since. In this funny, provoking and insightful polemic, Virginia Woolf challenges her audience of young women to work on even in obscurity, to cultivate the habit of freedom, and to exercise the courage to write exactly what we think.

But, you may say, we asked you to speak about women and fiction — what has that got to do with a room of ones own?
A Room of Ones Own grew out of a lecture that Virginia Woolf had been invited to give at Girton College, Cambridge in 1928 and became a landmark work of feminist thought.
Covering everything from why a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write, to authors such as Jane Austen, Aphra Behn and the Bronte sisters, and the tragic story of Shakespeares fictional sister Judith, it remains a passionate assertion for female creativity and independence in a world dominated by men.
