Virginia Woolf

One of the most original and influential figures in twentieth century literature, Virginia Woolf has paradoxically become known as much for her personality as her writing. In this new biography Julia Briggs gets back to the Virginia Woolf the writer. Structured around Woolf's major novels and the creative process behind them, Briggs tells the story of Virginia Woolf's life through her books to give a new insight into her literary genius and how some of the most important works of the twentieth century were created.
