About the Item
The first edition of the final novel published during Virginia Woolf's lifetime, in an especially bright example of the sought-after Vanessa Bell dust wrapper.
The first edition, first impression of this work.
In the publisher's original unclipped dust wrapper, designed by Woolf's sister, Vanessa Bell.
'The Years' was the final of Woolf's novels published in her lifetime, and is an epic following one family across the generations and decades of history, from in the 1880s to the mid 1930s.
Written by the Bloomsbury author Virginia Woolf, a central figure of the literary group, herself known for her experimental writings and affair with fellow author Vita Sackville-West.
Published by the Hogarth Press, the Bloomsbury publishing house founded ran by Leonard and Virginia Woolf. The press was founded in the interwar period, as printing became a hobby for the couple, diverting Virginia when her writing became too stressful. Both Woolf's taught themselves to use a printing press, publishing 527 titles from the period of 1917 to 1946.

One small closed tear to the head of the rear wrap, and two small closed tears to the head of the front wrap. Two small closed tears to back strip head. Internally, firmly bound. Pages exceptionally clean and bright.

View All1931 The Waves
By Virginia Woolf
Located in Bath, GB
A nice first edition copy of this experimental novel by Virginia Woolf, one of her most puzzling publications, here in the original beautifully designed dust wrapper by Vanessa Bell.
The first edition, first impression of this work.
In the original Vanessa Bell designed unclipped dust wrapper.
One of the experimental novels of Virginia Woolf, following six narrators from childhood to adulthood through a series of soliloquies, ruminating on the concepts of individuality, self, and community.
Readers can see some of Woolf's friends in her characters in this novel; in particular E. M. Forster in the writer Bernard, T. S. Eliot in the outsider Louis, Lytton Strachey in Neville, Mary Hutchinson in the socialite Jinny, Vanessa Bell, in the fleeing Susan, and Thoby Stephen in the flawed and never narrator Percival.
Written by the Bloomsbury author Virginia Woolf, a central figure of the literary group, herself known for her experimental writings and affair with fellow author Vita Sackville-West.
