Beschreibung:

A Room of One's Own Virginia Woolf, 1929 WOOLF, Virginia (1882-1941). A Room of One's Own. London: Hogarth Press, 1929. A remarkably fresh, fine copy of the first English edition of a foundational work of feminist criticism. Woolf’s influential essay examines the structural disadvantages suffered by women throughout history. Famously, she envisages the life of Judith Shakespeare, the imaginary and equally talented sister of William, whose literary brilliance would have been constrained by the society in which she lived. "Probably the most influential piece of non-fictional writing by a woman in this century" (Hermione Lee). Kirkpatrick A12b. Octavo. Original cloth; pictorial dust jacket designed by Vanessa Bell; custom box. Please note this lot is the property of a private individual.
