Selected diaries, paperback/virginia woolf

A moving, perceptive and beautifully written insight into the workings of the mind of one of the best loved and most admired writers of the twentieth century.

     Virginia Woolf turned to her diary as to an intimate friend, to whom she could freely and spontaneously confide her thoughts on public events or the joys and trials of domestic life.

Between January 1st, 1915 and her death in 1941 she regularly recorded her thoughts with unfailing grace, courage, honesty and wit.

The result is one of the greatest diaries in the English language.

     Abridged and edited by Anne Olivier Bell, the wife of Virginia Woolfs nephew Quentin Bell.
