From the Publisher
Was Virginia Woolf suicidal, or was she betrayed and driven to taking her own life? Irene Coates argues, with forensic precision, that Leonard Woolf was responsible for the unraveling of his wife's sanity and her subsequent suicide. These two people were at the heart of the Bloomsbury Group; one a mad genius, the other a so-called selfless husband. But underneath that caring veneer beat the heart of a pessimistic, repressed, bullying, and hypocritical man, one who may have been responsible for the death of Virginia Woolf.
Irene Coates is a painter and a playwright. She lives in Australia.
About the Author
Irene Coates grew up in a bohemian family on the fringe of the Bloomsbury Group. A painter and playwright, she has also written on the role of the female in biology and genetics.
