Synopsis "A Room of One's own and Three Guineas (Collins Classics) "

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best loved essential classics.`Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate no lock no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind... Based on a lecture given at Cambridge and first published in 1929 `A Room of One s Own interweaves Woolf s personal experience as a female writer with themes ranging from Austen and Bronte to Shakespeare s gifted (and imaginary) sister. `Three Guineas Woolf s most impassioned polemic came almost a decade later and broke new ground by challenging the very notions of war and masculinity.This volume combines two inspirational witty and urbane essays from one of literature s pre eminent voices; collectively they constitute a brilliant and lucid attack on sexual inequality.

Virginia Woolf was born in London on January 25, 1882, and died on March 28, 1941, drowned in the River Ouse. After her father's death, the well-known man of letters Sir Leslie Stephen, Virginia and her sister Vanessa left the elegant Kensington neighborhood and moved to the bohemian Bloomsbury, which named the brilliant literary group formed around the Stephen sisters. Among its members were T. S. Eliot, Bertrand Russell, Vita Sackville-West, and the writer Leonard Woolf, whom Virginia married and with whom she ran the prestigious Hogarth Press. From her early works, Virginia Woolf highlighted her intention to take novels beyond mere narration. In Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927), the author expressed the inner feelings of the characters with her own techniques, achieving great psychological effects through images, metaphors, and symbols. Her technique was consolidated with Orlando (1931) and The Waves (1931), which secured her an indisputable place within the finest world literature. Additionally, Woolf wrote essays as famous as A Room of One's Own (1929), which still inspires new generations of women today, literary criticism articles like those compiled in The Common Reader (1925, 1932) and in Genius and Ink (2021), or the biography of the English poet Elizabeth Barrett's dog, Flush (1933). All these works are published by Lumen.
