Letters of Leonard Woolf"Cambridge scholar, colonial civil servant, author, journalist, editor, publisher, and political adviser to the Labour Party, Leonard Woolf had a long and varied career documented by a rich correspondence. Although overshadowed by the worldwide fascination with his wife, Virginia, he was in his own right a notable figure in intellectual circles and an integral part of the Bloomsbury group. The 600 letters in this volume begin in 1901 during Woolf's undergraduate years and end shortly before his death in 1969. Arranged thematically, they not only highlight his principal activities but also provide a virtual retrospective of literacy and political developments in Britain over half a century"--Back cover. |
