Virginia Woolf: A Biography, Volumes 1-2Nephew of Virginia Woolf, Quentin Bell enjoyed an intimacy with his subject granted to few biographers. Originally published in two volumes in 1972, and revised for this new edition, his acclaimed biography describes Virginia Woolf's family and childhood, her earliest writings; the formation of the Bloomsbury Group; her marriage to Leonard Woolf; the mental breakdowns of the years 1912-15; the origins and growth of the Hogarth Press; her friendships with T.S. Eliot, Katherine Mansfield and Vita Sackville-West; her struggles to write The waves and The years; and the political and personal distresses of her last decade. |
