Recollections of Virginia Woolf by Her Contemporaries

A landmark study of Virginia Woolf, now back in printRecollections, anecdotes and first-hand impressions—including pieces from some of the leading lights of the Bloomsbury Group—are gathered together in this perceptive and profound volume. Many pieces were specially written for the original edition of this book, including work by Duncan Grant, Rebecca West, and T.S. Eliot, while perhaps its most famous piece—by a member of her household staff—movingly describes her on the day of her death. From all these reminiscences, a composite and complex portrait of the artist emerges, one that no fan of her writings should be without.
