Reseña del editor

Virginia Woolf is one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century literature. She was original, passionate, vivid, dedicated to her art. Yet most writing about her still revolves around her social life and the Bloomsbury set.

In this fresh, absorbing book, Julia Briggs puts the writing back at the center of Woolf's life, reads that life through her work, and mines the novels themselves to create a compelling new form of biography. Analyzing Woolf's own commentary on the creative process through her letters, diaries, and essays, Julia Briggs has produced a book that is a convincing, moving portrait of an artist, as well as a profound meditation on the nature of creativity.

Virginia Woolf: An Inner Life-a brilliant new insight into a literary genius.

Contraportada

Praise from the UK for VIRGINIA WOOLF:

"Rich and engaging, each chapter introduces surprises and insights." --The Times Literary Supplement

"This book shows the sometimes faltering flight of the mind, the self-doubt and failing courage when nobody seems to be listening. But it also captures the intense pleasures of her art, the necessary focus of intellectual energy and commitment to the sheer daily grind. It should be pressed into the hands of every aspiring young novelist as an exemplar of the writing life." --The Sunday Times
