Simply beautiful,
By Steven Cain (Temporal Quantum Pocket) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Diary of Virginia Woolf, Vol. 3: 1925-30 (Paperback)
Of all of Virginia's diaries (there are five volumes), volumes 3 and 4 are perhaps the most interesting, if only because they span the period in which she wrote her classics such as Orlando, To The Lighthouse, and The Waves (which itself literally spans the period between Vol 3 and Vol 4.)If you read the collected Diaries and Woman Of Letters by Phyllis Rose, you will gain a vital series of insights into the life and thoughts of this most haunting of female writers. Whenever I think of Virginia, I always think of the lines from "Vincent" by Don Maclean... This world was never meant If you have never read any Virginia Woolf, I would respectfully suggest you rent a copy of Sally Potter's Orlando. While Sally takes artistic license with the novel, she has created a very sympathetic work of Art. This diary above all gives you many insights into her thought processes and her writing career, including her reactions to the publication of her works and their reception by the public and the sub-species known as Critics. Recommended.

This review is from: The Diary of Virginia Woolf, Vol. 3: 1925-30 (Paperback)
Laughed at my hat, worry about clothes, Wells, Vita, Eliot, Ethel, Carrington, Hardy, Yeats, and all the regulars; new oil stove (one turns a dial and it has a thermometer!) books writing and re-writing, selling, stress, the usual depression when books published (but oh how exciting it is to read about) ;lots of feelings recorded, writing a profound pleasure, fame, money, happiness, foreshadow; on it goes in this third volume of the diaries .This wonderful, genius, enchanting, page-turner diary. I highly recommend reading all five of Virginia Woolf's diaries. Never boring or slow. The ultimate stream of consciousness.
