About this title

Synopsis

Presented in the form of an epistolary essay, Virginia Woolf offers her reflections on the art of poetry, sharing her thoughts on its purpose, its challenges, and its place in modern literature.

First published in 1932, A Letter to a Young Poet is Woolf's insightful and thought-provoking response to a request from writer John Lehmann for her views on contemporary poetry. This essay provides a rare glimpse into the mind of one of England's most celebrated writers, making it an essential read for fans of Woolf's work and for anyone interested in the craft of writing.

This edition also includes Woolf's essay Craftsmanship, a 1937 BBC broadcast in which she explores the intricacies of language and the writer's role in shaping it. Together, these essays highlight Woolf's profound understanding of the written word and her innovative approach to literary expression. Republished by Read & Co. Great Essays, this brand-new edition brings together these two significant essays, offering readers a deeper appreciation of Woolf's literary legacy and her enduring impact on the world of letters.
