The Virginia Woolf Collection includes:

Between the Acts

Highly symbolic, and dealing with many of the themes that were most dear to Virginia Woolf, such as the condition of the individual in the current of history, sexual ambiguity and the tension between life and art, Between the Acts was the author’s final novel, offering a tantalizing glimpse of the direction her fiction might have taken.

Flush

Much like its predecessor Orlando, Flush is a genre-defying blend of biography and fantasy, and an accessible yet stylistically innovative jeu d’esprit. Contains notes.

Jacob’s Room

An extraordinary departure from traditional forms of the novel, Jacob’s Room is both an elegiac and experimental tale told in pieces and fragments, and one of Virginia Woolf ’s most poignant stories. This edition contains extra material on Virginia Woolf’s life and works, notes on the text and a select bibliography.

Monday or Tuesday

Monday or Tuesday is the only collection of short stories that Virginia Woolf published during her lifetime, providing a fascinating insight into the early stages of development of themes that would blossom in her later masterpieces. This edition contains extra material on Virginia Woolf’s life and works, notes on the text and a select bibliography.

Mrs Dalloway

One of Virginia Woolf’s most famous novels, Mrs Dalloway is a triumph of experimentation, a cornerstone of Modernism and a subtle examination of love, freedom, mental illness and the female condition in society. This edition contains extra material and notes, a select bibliography.

The New Dress and Other Stories

Written in 1924 and perhaps intended for inclusion in Mrs Dalloway, a book Woolf was working on at the time, The New Dress is here accompanied by most of the short stories she published in her lifetime, as well as six posthumously published pieces that share the milieu and some of the characters of her celebrated novel. Together, they reveal their author as one of the finest practitioners in the field of short fiction.

Night and Day

By far the most accessible and traditional of all Virginia Woolf’s novels, Night and Day is a powerful evocation of a fast-changing world, and, though conventional in style, addresses many of the author’s recurring preoccupations, such as the role of women in society and the difficulties in reconciling love and marriage.

Orlando

A “fantastical biography” inspired by the life of the flamboyant writer Vita Sackville-West, Orlando is an amusing and eccentric jeu d’esprit, as well as a groundbreaking exploration of gender issues. This edition contains extra material on Virginia Woolf’s life and works, notes on the text and a select bibliography.

A Room of One’s Own

A seminal, widely studied feminist polemic that touches on both literature and politics. This edition contains extra material on Virginia Woolf’s life and works, notes on the text and a select bibliography.

To the Lighthouse

Rich in symbolism, daring in style, elegiac in tone and encapsulating Virginia Woolf’s ideas on life, art and human relationships, To the Lighthouse is a landmark of twentieth-century literature and one of the high points of early Modernism. This edition contains extra material on Virginia Woolf’s life and works, notes on the text and a select bibliography

The Voyage Out

Published in 1915 after a long period of gestation and several drafts, The Voyage Out marks Virginia Woolf’s debut as a novelist. Perhaps the most accessible of her major works, it is essential both for understanding the early development of her style and for the light it sheds on her own biography and artistic vision.

The Waves

Considered by some to be Virginia Woolf’s most ambitious novel, showcasing her Modernist narrative techniques at their finest, The Waves casts a visionary and lyrical light on everyday life. This edition contains extra material on Virginia Woolf’s life and works, notes on the text and a select bibliography.

The Years

The most ambitious of Woolf ’s novels, and the last one to be published during her lifetime, The Years is a work suff used with a haunting, melancholy sense of time and history, and a stylistic tour de force.
