Synopsis

This collection brings together three of Virginia Woolf's most celebrated works, Between the Acts, Mrs. Dalloway, and Orlando, each a masterpiece that has left an indelible mark on modern literature.

Between the Acts, Woolf's final novel, is set on the eve of World War II and centres around a village play that mirrors the complexities of life and art. Written with Woolf's characteristic lyricism, the novel weaves together prose and verse to create one of her most poetic and reflective works.

Mrs. Dalloway, first published in 1925, offers a poignant portrait of a single day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, an English aristocrat navigating the aftermath of the Great War. Through its stream-of-consciousness style, the novel explores themes of mental illness, existentialism, feminism, and the fluidity of identity.

Orlando is a groundbreaking exploration of gender and identity, following the life of a transgender poet who transcends centuries and encounters some of history's most notable literary figures. This novel, renowned for its wit and imagination, has had a lasting impact on literature, gender studies, and feminist thought.

Published by Read & Co. Classics, this volume is complete with a specially commissioned biography of Woolf, offering readers deeper insight into the life and legacy of one of the twentieth century's most visionary writers. This collection is an essential addition to any literary library, celebrating Woolf's unparalleled contributions to the world of fiction.
