It rediscovers Virginia Woolf afresh.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe Philadelphia Inquirer\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile Virginia Woolf--one of our century's most brilliant and mercurial writers--has had no shortage of biographers, none has seemed as naturally suited to the task as Hermione Lee. Subscribing to Virginia Woolf's own belief in the fluidity and elusiveness of identity, Lee comes at her subject from a multitude of perspectives, producing a richly layered portrait of the writer and the woman that leaves all of her complexities and contradictions intact. Such issues as sexual abuse, mental illness, and suicide are brought into balance with the immensity of her literary achievement, her heroic commitment to her work, her generosity and wit, and her sanity and strength. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is not often that biography offers the satisfactions of great fiction--but this is clearly what Hermione Lee has achieved. Accessible, intelligent, and deeply pleasurable to read, her Virginia Woolf will undoubtedly take its place as the standard biography for years to come. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"One of the most impressive biographies of the decade: moving, eloquent, powerful as both literary and social history.\" \u003cbr\u003e--\u003ci\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"The most distinguished study of Woolf yet.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe New Republic \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375701368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.20w x 1.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/10\/1999 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/05\/1999 pg. 105\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/1999 pg. 52\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hermione Lee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42916870357173,"sku":"9780375701368","price":22.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_86f46b4a-73cf-416f-9de5-0aba6db4da4d.jpg?v=1687272608","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/virginia-woolf-9780375701368","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
