Format:Paperback
Reading someone's diaries can be a revealing but often disturbing affair.You are right in there with them for better or worse and what is evident from this first volume of Woolf's diaries is that there was plenty of 'better' but somehow she just couldn't see it so the 'worse' was inevitable.Essential reading for anyone who really wants to try and understand this gifted but deeply complex woman.

Format:Paperback
This task of editing and publishing Virginia Woolf's diaries undertaken by Anne Olivier Bell has been the most constructive and utterly helpful one for greater insight into the Woolfian personality. A day-to-day recording by Woolf herself of her activities and feelings, and the subsequent publicisation of such information has been undoubtedly invaluable not only for critics themselves in their work on Woolf's figure but for students as well discovering an interest in the writer. Details on her personal life but more importantly on her career as a reviewer, journalist, essayist, letter-writer and diarist have uncovered aspects to the author unknown up until approximately two decades ago.
