Beschreibung

An Advance Review Copy of the scarce Uniform Edition of Virginia Woolf's experimental novel, being the third impression of the first edition. The scarce first Uniform Edition of this work, in the very scarce publisher's original unclipped dust wrapper.Described by Kirkpatrick as the third impression of the first edition; 'although works in the Uniform Edition are described as a 'New Edition' to the verso of the title page, they are in fact reprints of the first edition'. Kirkpatrick A16c.An ARC, with a slip from the publisher tipped in to the front free endpaper, detailing the price and date of publication.Arranged in a series of cryptic and ambiguous soliloquies, spanning the lives of the six central characters, this was Woolf's most experimental work.Readers can see some of Woolf's friends in the characters in this novel; in particular E. M. Forster in the writer Bernard, T. S. Eliot in the outsider Louis, Lytton Strachey in Neville, Mary Hutchinson in the socialite Jinny, Vanessa Bell in the fleeing Susan, and Thoby Stephen in Percival. In the publisher's original cloth binding, with unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, exceptionally bright. Publisher's slip tipped in to front free endpaper. Sunning and light tide marks to dust wrapper back strip as is common with this work, with wraps vibrant. Internally, firmly bound. Light spotting to title page, with pages otherwise clean and bright.
