A collection of essays by Virginia Woolf, some of which originally appeared in the Times Literary Supplement or the Dial, and others were originally published for the first time in this volume. "Anything that Virginia Woolf may have to say about letters is of more than ordinary interest, for her peculiar intelligence and informed attitude set her somewhat apart. She possesses the happy faculty simultaneously of enjoying and accepting the work of Daniel De Foe and James Joyce, of Joseph Addison and T.S. Eliot, of Jane Austen and Marcel Proust. Many of these essays are excellent examples of that...

The Ramsey family, with house guests, visit the Isle of Skye at least twice. The plot is not at all the point though, as this is a book about how people think and feel and relate. There’s insight into the world of childhood thought and emotion, and a variety of views of adult cares and perceptions.I hope this doesn’t make it sound ‘difficult’, it doesn’t need to be – just let the sentences flow and make your own sense of the words. It’s perhaps as close as a novel can come to the highly individual experience of looking at a painting. … - Summary by Cori SamuelThis recording was...

Bound Away offers a new understanding of the westward movement.

Quando nel 1908 torna in Toscana con la sorella Vanessa e il cognato Clive, Virginia Woolf porta con sé “my travelling library”, una biblioteca viaggiante zeppa di classici compatti e leggeri. Il viaggio significa per lei anche lettura, in ogni circostanza. Del resto, quando si reca all’estero Virginia entra in uno stato di vigilanza passiva e lascia che i suoni e le immagini straniere le scorrano nella mente. Si comporta come una balena: l’acqua marina le attraversa la bocca e lei inghiotte tutta quella flora e quella fauna che diventeranno poi alimenti per la sua fantasia e la sua ...
