Books in the Shakespeare Head Press Edition of Virginia Woolf series

Set in the years leading up to the First World War, this work is an elegy, not just for an individual character, but for a generation lost in and affected by the war.

The controversial "Three Guineas" was Virginia Woolf's most explicit statement of her feminism. Forming part of the "Shakespeare Head Press" series of Woolf's works, this new edition includes her carefully considered selection of photographs, her discursive endnotes and annotations.

Initially overshadowed by her death and the World War II, "Between the Acts" is now judged to be among Virginia Woolf's most challenging works. It is about many things, including marriage and jealousy, language and memory, artists, arts and audiences and a society on the brink of war.

This important new edition adopts the text of the first British edition of the novel, published in London on 15th March 1937. A comprehensive introduction details the lengthy process of the composition and revision of the novel, and its subsequent publication history.
