S. Eliot, Henry James and E. M. Forster among them. But one of the paper's defining voices was Virginia Woolf, who produced a string of superb essays between the two World Wars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e          \u003cp\u003eThe weirdness of Elizabethan plays, the pleasure of revisiting favourite novels, the supreme examples of Charlotte Bronte, George Eliot and Henry James, Thomas Hardy and Joseph Conrad: all are here, in anonymously published pieces, in which may be glimpsed the thinking behind Woolf's works of fiction and the enquiring, feminist spirit of \u003cem\u003eA Room of One's Own\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e          \u003cp\u003eHere is Woolf the critical essayist, offering, at one moment, a playful hypothesis and, at another, a judgement laid down with the authority of a twentieth-century Dr Johnson. Here is Woolf working out precisely what's great about Hardy, and how Elizabeth Barrett Browning made books a \"substitute for living\" because she was \"forbidden to scamper on the grass\". Above all, here is Virginia Woolf the reader, whose enthusiasm for great literature remains palpable and inspirational today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woolf, Virginia","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55023791800659,"sku":"XV80008355722","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/virginia-woolf-genius-and-ink-2019-hardback","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
