Lytton Strachey fue el crítico literario por excelencia del final de la época victoriana; Virginia Woolf ya había escrito cuatro de sus grandes novelas (El cuarto de Jacob, La señora Dalloway, Orlando y Al faro); y ambos brillaban con luz propia en el muy exigente Círculo de Bloomsbury. A lo...

The Years is a 1937 novel by Virginia Woolf, the last she published in her lifetime. It traces the history of the genteel Pargiter family from the 1880s to the "present day" of the mid-1930s. Although spanning fifty years, the novel is not epic in scope, focusing instead on the small private...

Published by Hogarth Press in 1928, Orlando is at once an oddity, an indulgence, but also a slice of genius. The novel – because despite masquerading as a biography, it is a work of narrative fiction – tells the unlikely, impossible story of Orlando through his years as a male member of the Elizabethan...

Published in 1937 by Hogarth Press, The Years was the last novel released during Woolf’s lifetime. It was also the longest in development, having gone through a steady flow of refinements since it was first conceived as a novel-essay in 1931. Much like the previous novel, The Waves, this is as much...

A modernist consideration of city life seen through the eyes of a dog named Flush. Most insightful and experimental are Woolf's emotional and philosophical views verbalised in Flush's thoughts. For Flush smell is poetry, but for Barrett Browning, poetry is impossible without words. In Flush Woolf examines...
