Original Wraps. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket, as Issued. First UK Paperback Edition. Penguin Catalogue No. 896. A first printing of the first UK paperback edition, published in September 1953. The book, which was the final published novel by Virginia Woolf, was originally published in hardback by the Hogarth Press in 1941. ***Very good in the iconic Penguin orange and white striped card covers. The covers are quite clean, but do have some marks and rubbing commensurate with age and handling over the last 72 years. There is also some uneven browning to the covers. However, there are no tears or creases - just slight rubbing at the base of the spine - and no reading creases to the spine which is straight and not rolled. The spine also remains unbrowned - just slightly faded (please see scans). Internally also very good with no inscriptions or annotations. Internal pages clean, although the paper stock is tanned. A couple of top page corner tips slightly creased. No dustwrapper as issued (the Penguin editions from this period were not issued with a dustwrapper). ***152 pages plus a 6pp publisher's catalogue at the back of the book, plus a single advert printed on the inside cover. 180mm x 110mm. ***'"Between the Acts" is the final novel by Virginia Woolf. It was published shortly after her death in 1941. Although the manuscript had been completed, Woolf had yet to make final revisions (as stated by Leonard Woolf in a Note at the beginning of the book). The book describes the mounting, performance, and audience of a play at a festival in a small English village, just before the outbreak of the Second World War. Since the play is inside the story, much of the novel is written in verse, and it is thus one of Woolf's most lyrical works. Because of its focus on theatrical performance, it has been discussed as theatre-fiction, which Graham Wolfe explains as "referring to novels and stories that engage in concrete and sustained ways with theatre as artistic practice and industry."' (Wiki)***A first printing of the first UK paperback edition in very good condition considering its age and the fragility of production. It is unusual now to find Penguin books from this period in such nice condition. The accompanying photo scans show four other Penguin editions of books by Virginia Woolf which we have also listed on ABE Books, including a scarce wartime first printing of "A Room of One's Own". ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

Adeline Virginia Woolf (1882 1941) was an English writer and one of the most influential 20th-century modernist authors. She helped to pioneer the use of stream of consciousness narration as a literary device. Woolf began publishing professionally in 1900 and rose to prominence during the interwar period with novels like Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and Orlando (1928), as well as the feminist essay A Room of One's Own (1929). Her work became central to 1970s feminist criticism. RAREA1941ABCJ BS247 25/12.
