Hardcover. Condition: Used; Good. A brilliant 1948 edition of The Common Reader Second Series by Virginia Woolf in a bright and blue design! This book holds several critical essays Woolf wrote on varying literary works and authors such as Robinson Crusoe; Swift's "Journey to Stella"; De Quincey's Autobiography; Mary Wollstonecraft; The Novels of George Meredith; "I Am Christina Rossetti"; and much more! She also says of the 'strange Elizabethans': Very likely the Elizabethans would find out pronunciation of their language unintelligible; our fancy picture of what it pleases us to call Elizabethan life would rouse their ribald merriment. Still, the instinct that drives us to them is so strong and the freshness and vigour that blow through their page are so sweet that we willingly run the risk of being laughed at, of being ridiculous.'
