Memoirs of a Novelist

From Victorian England to fifteenth- century Norfolk, and pre-war London to Mount Pentelicus, Virginia Woolf offers a series of fictional impressions of women finding their place in the world around them. At once exquisitely drawn and brilliantly haunting, these snapshots of life are a remarkable testament to the narrative powers of one of Britain's best-loved novelists, and an insight into some of her perennial interests – namely her fascination with the role of the biographer, the literature of Greece and the loneliness of early twentieth-century London. This collection of five of Virginia Woolf's earliest stories explores the role of women in society, and hints at the stylistic form that would go on to define her later writing.
