Reading Virginia Woolf's essays is a pleasure in itself, but reading them in chronological order adds the suspense of discovery. You want to discover how the writer's style evolved, and to find in these pages the roots of her future, mastery prose. Already her writing has gained much confidence and maturity since the last volume. And sometime a sentence or a passage jumps out, clever, lyrical and opinionated, which surprises you and draws you back pages later. The annotations are extensive, including passages lifted from her diaries and her reading notes. They are revealing not only with respect to the content of the essays but to how Virginia Woolf composed them.
