Scopri i saggi critici informativi ed eruditi di Virginia Woolf su alcuni dei principali romanzieri e drammaturghi del canone, dagli antichi greci a Jane Austen e oltre. Virginia Woolf leggeva e scriveva da outsider, a cui venivano negati i privilegi educativi dei suoi contemporanei maschi. Forse era più in grado, quindi, di rivolgersi a un ''lettore comune'' in questa vasta raccolta di saggi. Con tutta l'immaginazione e l'allegria che sono il marchio del suo genio, si sposta dall'Inghilterra medievale alla Russia zarista e sottopone drammaturghi elisabettiani, romanzieri vittoriani e saggisti moderni al suo saggio, acuto e divertente esame. Saggi su Jane Austen, George Eliot, Nancy Mitford, Joseph Conrad, Michel de Montaigne, Daniel Defoe e molti altri.

What she produced is an eccentric and unofficial literary and s
