A Room of One's Own
Virginia Woolf, 1929
WOOLF, Virginia (1882-1941). A Room of One's Own. London: Hogarth Press, 1929.

A remarkably fresh, fine copy of the first English edition of a foundational work of feminist criticism. Woolf’s influential essay examines the structural disadvantages suffered by women throughout history. Famously, she envisages the life of Judith Shakespeare, the imaginary and equally talented sister of William, whose literary brilliance would have been constrained by the society in which she lived. "Probably the most influential piece of non-fictional writing by a woman in this century" (Hermione Lee). Kirkpatrick A12b.

Octavo. Original cloth; pictorial dust jacket designed by Vanessa Bell; custom box.
