The Common Reader

£8.00

Pelican Book A36. 1st Edition, published 1938.

Virginia Woolf read, and wrote, as an outsider, denied the educational privileges of her male contemporaries. She was perhaps better able, then, to address a 'common reader' in this wide-ranging collection of essays. With all the imagination and gaiety that are the stamp of her genius, she turns from medieval England to tsarist Russia, and subjects Elizabethan playwrights, Victorian novelists and modern essayists to her wise, acute and entertaining scrutiny.

Condition grading: Very Good. Some creasing to tanned spine. Light foxing to front cover. Crease to top left corner of rear cover. Light crease to bottom left corner of rear cover. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
