A propos de cet article

Virginia Woolf's celebrated modernist masterpiece, The Waves, published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf at The Hogarth Press in 1931. - Widely regarded as one of Woolf's finest and most experimental works, The Waves is considered a landmark achievement in twentieth-century literature and remains one of the key titles of the Bloomsbury period. - Condition & Description: A beautiful facsimile dust-jacket accompanies this book. Produced from a first impression [1931] issue. It has the price of 7/6 to the spine as well as stating on the front prelim: This dustjacket is designed by: VANESSA BELL - [Virginia Woolf's Sister - Initials appear on the rear panel] - Original purple cloth boards. The spine lettering has been carefully re-inked. Light fraying to the spine ends and bumping to the corners. The boards remain clean, sound and firmly attached. - Internally, the pages display the expected age-related browning, occasional soiling and light foxing. The text remains clean, complete and securely bound. - Also present are several later owner-added items relating to Virginia Woolf, including a pasted in image of Virginia Woolf when she was about 20 years old to the first blank endpage. - Her famous purple signature pasted on the full title page. - Finally: an old newspaper article is pasted onto the copyright page; hiding the fact this book is a second impression. These have been retained as part of the book's history and provenance. - The old newspaper article states: "I CANNOT GO ON" - WOMAN WRITER'S SUICIDE - At the inquest at Newhaven, Sussex, to-day, on Mrs. Virginia Woolf, whose body was recovered from the River Ouse near her home at Rodwell last night, a verdict of suicide while the balance of her mind was disturbed was returned. - Then, follows a lot more information about Virginia Woolf and her life etc. - It’s very sad. - All pasted in images are photocopies. - I also have a photocopy of Virginia Woolf's Last will written in 1930 [2 pages] which I will include as a bonus item. - It was only when I got a copy of this will that I saw that her first Christian name was Adeline. - Adeline Virginia Woolf - E N D - Our orders are shipped within 1 or 2 business days. - Thanks for your interest and I hope you like the book enough to buy it.…
