Excellent Overview of a Brilliant Author,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Virginia Woolf Reader (Paperback)
This compact anthology presents a fine selection of fiction and nonfiction by one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. The selections of essays and memoirs are especially good, and while it can't do full justice to Woolf's longer works, this volume does include several excerpts from her best novels. If you have never read Virginia Woolf before, start with her brilliant book-length essay "A Room of One's Own" (represented here by too brief a portion) along with this anthology. And, for those who have already discovered her work, this collection makes a nice sampler and refresher - a book to pull off the shelf whenever you want to dip into that extraordinary mind (and prose) again.

This review is from: The Virginia Woolf Reader (Paperback)
I had not read any Virginia Woolf before and I thought she would be difficult. This book was a very pleasant surprise. I found her very readable and the introductions to each section were very helpful. Overall this was a great introduction to her work - a snippet of each kind of writing to get an idea of each of the styles in which she wrote.
