Selected Works of Virginia Woolf

Selected Works of Virginia Woolf offers a comprehensive anthology of Virginia Woolf’s most celebrated writings, showcasing her innovative modernist style and profound exploration of human consciousness. Published by Wordsworth Editions, this collection spans key novels like Mrs Dalloway, which unfolds over a single day in the life of society hostess Clarissa Dalloway, revealing interwoven inner lives; To the Lighthouse, an autobiographical meditation on family, time, and loss set against the backdrop of the Great War; Orlando, a playful, gender-shifting biography inspired by Vita Sackville-West; and The Waves, a poetic symphony tracing life’s rhythms through six characters’ soliloquies. It also includes shorter works such as Jacob’s Room, her essays A Room of One’s Own and Three Guineas—feminist manifestos on women’s creative and economic independence—and Between the Acts, a wartime reflection on English society. Woolf’s lyrical prose and stream-of-consciousness technique illuminate the nuances of perception, gender, class, and mortality, cementing her legacy as a transformative 20th-century literary voice.
