"Though she is best known as a novelist, this comprehensive volume displays Virginia Woolf as a master of short fiction. In almost fifty sketches and stories, Woolf updated the narrative models of her day with a powerful avant-garde style that later distinguished her classic novels. [This book] chronicles thirty-five years of Woolf's most innovative writing. From early works such as "The Mark on the Wall" and "Kew Gardens" to later works in which she explores marriage, such as "The Legacy" and "Lappin and Lapinova," the contents of this collection successfully showcase the range of the author's genius." --Cover.
