From the Back Cover:
Virginia Woolf's biography of Elizabeth Barrett Brownings spanielwas what she called "a little escapade", begun to "ease my brain"in the wake of The Waves (1931). The intensities of thatmost demanding fiction were soon supplanted by canine psychologyand the art of anthropomorphism.
From the Inside Flap:
For all its fun and frivolity, Flush is none the less awork seriously inclined to mock and question the genre ofbiography, as did Woolf's earlier, more ambitious, and more widelyread jeu d'esprit, Orlando (1928), and was written in partas a joke at the expense of the biographer Lytton Strachey. LikeOrlando it too bespeaks its author's feminism.
In this new edition, which uses as copy-text the second issueof the first English edition and reproduces the originalillustrations, Elizabeth Steele maps the events that inspired thebook. She provides a wealth of information about its writing andreception - concerning fact and fiction, and Woolf's views on theart of biography - and details its publication history.
First published in 1933, Flush is the lively story of Elizabeth Barrett Browning?s cocker spaniel, and a glimpse into the life of his owner.
