Paperback, 198 pages, published 1979. Good-to-Acceptable used/vintage condition. The inside cover has a previous owner's name and ten pages have been highlighted. There's some light foxing along the edge and the cover shows shelf wear, but for the age of the book this copy is in solid shape. The binding is tight and pages are intact. No dog-ears, no missing or torn pages. See all pics for cosmetic flaws. "In her time, Virginia Woolf was highly respected as a major essayist and critic with a special interest and commitment to contemporary literature, and women's writing in particular. This spectacular collection of essays and other writings does justice to those efforts, offering unique appraisals of Aphra Behn, Mary Wollstonecraft, the Duchess of Newcastle, Dorothy Richardson, Charlotte Bronte, Katherine Mansfield, and others. Distinguished scholar Michele Barrett cohesively brings together Woolf's work which had been scattered throughout many texts and many volumes, and in some cases was previously unpublished. These journal extracts can now be read and studied as timeless commentaries."
