About the Author

Ruth Webb, University of London.

From School Library Journal

Grade 10 Up-The highlights of the writer's life and literary career are related in a compact, balanced manner. Webb introduces the political, social, and personal preferences of Woolf's set, the unconventional Bloomsbury Group, with objectivity. Although the workmanlike prose is a bit dry at times, the well-organized information will be useful for reports and the text is enriched by a wealth of diary entries and excerpts from letters. Full-color and black-and-white photos and reproductions of original letters, paintings, and drawings enhance the text. Older readers would do well with Quentin Bell's Virginia Woolf (Harcourt, 1974; o.p.) but Webb's title is attractively packaged and may appeal to a wider range of students.
