About this edition
Asked to lecture on “women and fiction,” Virginia Woolf answered with this witty, wandering, quietly revolutionary essay, following a single afternoon's thought through the halls of Oxbridge, the shelves of the British Museum, and the imagined life of Shakespeare's gifted sister, to a truth about money, privacy, and the freedom to create.
First published in 1929 and grown from two lectures given at the women's colleges at Cambridge, A Room of One's Own is Woolf's most beloved work of non-fiction and one of the founding texts of modern criticism.
The complete essay in its six parts, freshly set with drop capitals and small-cap chapter openings, Woolf's italics restored, her own footnotes set off, and the two poems she contrasts set as verse, behind an original mixed media cover illustration by JVB Atelier Designs.
