Book details

Book description

Virginia 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 '. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is now recognised as a major 20th century author, a great novelist and essayist, and a key figure in literary history as a feminist and modernist.
