'The Common Reader' is a collection of classic essays by Virginia Woolf exploring subjects such as Jane Austen, 'Wuthering Heights', George Eliot, Mary Wollstonecraft and Dorothy Wordsworth. The essays are aimed at the common reader, and they highlight the impressive talent of Woolf demonstrating her expanse of knowledge and stylistic variety; The prose here is vastly different from her modernist style for which she is best known.
