Book Description
The Unknown Virginia Woolf is now recognised as one of the classic studies of Woolf's life and work. Roger Poole revises the conventional view of Woolf's madness to reveal hidden areas of textual and biographical meaning. This new edition contains a specially written preface evaluating contemporary developments in Woolf and feminist studies.
Review
'... in the best sense of an over-used word, it is challenging; it makes us aware of the dangers of a canon being too easily established in biographical interpretation, and of the closeness of relation between the novels and the life. It is especially welcomed for its verve, its overriding sense of engagement, its self-evident 'need to be written'.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
'Poole's analysis of Virginia's marriage to Leonard Woolf is deadly frank and honest - and, I feel, absolutely accurate. As is the rest of this remarkable work. The Unknown Virginia Woolf is a brilliantly argued interpretation of the life of a genius, much maligned by her closest associates and friends.' Eric Hiscock, The Bookseller
