About This Item
Virginia: The University of Virginia, 1992. Hardback. [i - ix], x - xiv, [xv], xvi, 1 - 451pp. Dust jacket in a protective sleeve. Leonard and Virginia Woolf have proved endlessly fascinating as individuals, as partners, as writers and as central players in the drama of Bloomsbury. yet surprisingly little attention has been paid to their remarkable achievement as publishers. The Woolf's very personal publishing enterprise began with the installation of a handpress in the drawing room of Hogarth House in 1917. What began as an amateur diversion from their writing came to encompass, by the time of Virginia's suicide in 1941, the publication of 474 titles. Along the way the Woolfs published the early work of T. S. Eliot, Katherine Mansfield, John Maynard Keynes, and a host of others and introduced the English-speaking world to the great Russian novelists and to Sigmund Freud. It was an enviable record and all the more remarkable for the personal way in which it was achieved. Virginia originally set the type and often read the proofs; Leonard as the managing director made the deals, kept the books, and nearly always argued with the assistants. Through much digging and research, J. H. Willis has pieced together the full story of "Leonard and Virginia Woolf as Publishers". Book in fine condition with little sign of use. Dust jacket fine and unclipped in a removable protective sleeve.
