Originally published in 1979, this volume argues that it is Woolf's pre-occupation with form which is her overriding artistic concern, and not feminism. In this original critical study, Rosenthal considers her non-fiction as well as fiction, exploring the different ways Woolf sought to embody her artistic vision throughout her remarkable literary career. The books establish both the intellectual and social setting of the Bloomsbury world in which she lived, and includes detailed discussions of all her work. Woolf's unending quest to express, as she says, 'the exact shapes my brain holds', provides us with a new method of appreciating her total achievement as a writer.
