Common Reader II

Author: Virginia Woolf
Publisher:
Publication Date: 2003-04-01
Features: Woolf is known as a particularly avid reader, as is widely acknowledged in many biographies, but the articles collected in this book lack any discernible order. For instance, she mentions Shakespeare, Dickens, and Thackeray countless times—the great literary figures in British literary history—but there is no single article dedicated to them or their works, which is inevitably a bit of a disappointment. However, as you read one after another, you can’t help but genuinely appreciate the articles Woolf has provided.
