Virginia Woolf and the Essay is one of the first critical studies to focus exclusively on Woolf's essays and thereby anticipates what is fast becoming the next major area of interest in Woolf studies. The collection begins with an introduction that surveys the historical reception of Virginia Woolf's essays, and then sketches out a methodological study of Woolf's essays by placing them within historical, literary-historical, reader-orientated, generic, and feminist contexts. As Virginia Woolf and the Essay proves, Woolf's essays are as fresh and delightful, as complex and inviting, to us now as they were to her original readers.

The final word on Woolf's essays -- spectacular!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Virginia Woolf and the Essay (Hardcover)
Without a doubt, the finest collection of essays on V.W.'s essays. The editors are to be commended. This is not for everyone, but for the true scholar, this is extremely fine work -- particularly the first half of the introduction.
