¿Night and Day¿ is a 1919 novel by Virginia Woolf. The story is set in Edwardian London and follows the lives and loves of Katharine Hilbery and Mary Datchet, exploring questions concerning women's suffrage and the relationships between marriage, love, success, and happiness. Highly recommended for those with an interest in feminism and not to be missed by fans of Woolf's seminal work. Adeline Virginia Woolf (1882¿1941) was an English writer. She is widely hailed as being among the most influential modernist authors of the 20th century and a pioneer of stream of consciousness narration. Woolf was a central figure in the feminist criticism movement of the 1970s, her works having inspired countless women to take up the cause. She suffered numerous nervous breakdowns during her life primarily as a result of the deaths of family members, and it is now believed that she may have suffered from bipolar disorder. In 1941, Woolf drowned herself in the River Ouse at Lewes, aged 59. Other notable works by this author include: ¿Pattledom¿ (1925), ¿Flush - A Biography¿ (1933), and ¿The Waves¿ (1931). Read & Co. Classics is proudly republishing this novel now in a new edition complete with a specially-commissioned biography of the author.

'Woolf is modern ... With Joyce and Eliot she has shaped a literary century' Jeanette WintersonVirginia Woolf tested the boundaries of fiction in these short stories, developing a new language of sensation, feeling and thought, and recreating in words the 'swarm and confusion of life'. Defying categorization, the stories range from the more traditional narrative style of 'Solid Objects' through the fragile impressionism of 'Kew Gardens' to the abstract exploration of consciousness in 'The Mark on the Wall'.Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Sandra Kemp

'A brilliant fantasia of all Time's problems, age and youth, change and permanence, truth and illusion' The Times Literary SupplementThe Years is the story of the Pargiter family - their intimacies and estrangements, anxieties and triumphs - mapped out against the bustling rhythms of London's streets during the first decades of the twentieth century, as their Victorian upbringing gives way to a new world, where the rules of etiquette have shifted from the drawing room to the air-raid shelter. Virginia Woolf's penultimate novel is a celebration of the resilience of the individual amid time, change, life, death and renewal.Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Jeri Johnson

Dertil kommer en lang række interessante kommentarer til og læsninger af andres bøger.

Pressen skriver: »En uvurderlig guide til Virginia Woolfs forfatterskab og et nærbillede af et passioneret kunstnerisk sind.« – Den lokale avis » En stor tak til forlaget Rosinante for at udgive dette mesterværk, og for at genudgive nogle af Virginia Woolfs hovedværker! Den litterære verden ville ikke være den samme uden dem!« – bogblogger.dk »Her finder man Woolfs arbejds- og læsenoter, skarpe formuleringer af hendes poetik (at mætte hvert atom af øjeblikket), reportager fra bilrejse til Italien og udflugt til solformørkelse, portrætter af nære og bekendte med den pen, der både kan være følsom og spiddende.« – Information »Det er spændende sådan at få indblik i, hvad kunsten krævede af Woolf, og hvad hun tænkte om det og sit liv i det hele taget.« – **** Kristeligt Dagblad

'Orlando' is a historical fantasy in which the eponymous hero remains alive for over three centuries, but ages physically just 36 years. Over this huge span of time, Orlando has many strange adventures, chief among them being his sex-change from a man to a woman. Woolf uses this bizarre and intriguing notion to examine many aspects of human existence: the difference between fact and imagination; the utility of poetry and art; how humans conform to whatever civilization of group they find themselves in; and (a central theme of the book) the gender roles which society imposes so unjustly upon men and women, when - in Woolf's view - the two sexes have in reality very similar dreams and aspirations.

A haunted house that holds the mystery of the human heart; a challenge to read the contents of a library -- that reveals how dismally bad all too many books are. Five faces in a train compartment that among them become an unwritten novel.... a garden that holds the memory of love.This gorgeous collection reveals Woolf's style and imagination in all their delicate brilliance."Virginia Woolf stands as the chief figure of modernism in England and must be included with Joyce and Proust in the realization of experiments that have completely broken with tradition." -- The New York Times

ROOM OF ONE'S OWN is an extended essay by Virginia Woolf. First published on 24 October 1929, the essay was based on a series of lectures she delivered at Newnham College and Girton College, two women's colleges at Cambridge University in October 1928. While this extended essay in fact employs a fictional narrator and narrative to explore women both as writers of and characters in fiction, the manuscript for the delivery of the series of lectures, titled "Women and Fiction," which was published in Forum March 1929, and hence the essay, are considered non-fiction. The essay is generally seen as a feminist text, and is noted in its argument for both a literal and figurative space for women writers within a literary tradition dominated by men.
