Review


"Intended primarily for 'readers who are new to the work of Virginia Woolf,' Hussey's encyclopedia, the first on Woolf, will nonetheless delight veteran scholars as well, providing both groups with a wealth of basic information about Woolf's works, critical reception, influences, life and times, friends, and family."--Choice


"A brilliant compendium equally important and useful for specialists and common readers. Anyone who loves, teaches or studies Woolf and the Bloomsberries will find this entertaining and erudite work indispensable."--Louise DeSalvo, author of Virginia Woolf: The Impact of Childhood Sexual Abuse on Her Life and Work
