‘An almost model short illustrated companion … Mr Lehmann’s book delighted me’ – Angus Wilson, The Observer

Although beset throughout her life by mental illness, Virginia Woolf created the epoch-making novel To the Lighthouse and the brilliantly argued exposition of the feminist standpoint A Room of One’s Own, as well as articles, essays and stories, and a voluminous diary. John Lehmann worked for many years with the Hogarth Press, the publishers founded by Leonard and Virginia Woolf in 1917. This critical critical biography also includes illustrations that are a unique record of Virginia Woolf, the ‘Bloomsbury Group’ and the literary and artistic world that surrounded her.
