This collection of original essays on Virginia Woolf by leading scholars in the field opens up new debates on the work of one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century.  

The collection also looks at some of Woolf's own essays, discussing her theory of fiction and devotion to 'stream of consciousness' writing.  Its thirteen contributors place this discussion of Woolf's artistic theory and practice within the context of her association with the Bloomsbury Group and her interest in spirituality, feminism, homosexuality, pacifism and psychoanalysis.

James Acheson presents a vibrant collection of brand new essays on Virginia Woolf's 'Mrs Dalloway' and 'To the Lighthouse'. A team of leading scholars provide stimulating re-assessments and fresh critical perspectives on these two major works of British fiction.
