Edited by Vita Sackville-West’s son Nigel Nicolson and Joanne Trautmann, some 3,800 letters by Virginia Woolf appear in these six volumes. The letters begin with a note written by Virginia Stephen at the age of six; they end with her suicide letters to Vanessa Bell, her sister, and Leonard Woolf, her husband, in 1941 at the age of fifty-nine. In between these dates, Woolf’s letters provide a personal chronicle of her life, her writing, her friends, and her feelings. They also provide insight into the core of the Bloomsbury group, a loosely-knit group of writers, artists, and intellectuals who form a bridge between the aesthetics and philosophies of Victorian England and the aesthetics and philosophies of modernism in British and American art and literature. |
