Virginia Woolf's Modernist Path

In this second volume of her acclaimed study of Virginia Woolfs multivolume diary, Barbara Lounsberry traces the English writers life through the thirteen diaries she kept from 1918 to 1929. During these interwar years, Woolf began penning many of her most famous works, including Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, Orlando, and A Room of Ones Own. Lounsberry shows how Woolfs writing at this time was influenced by other diaristsAnton Chekhov, Katherine Mansfield, Jonathan Swift, and Stendhal among themand how she continued to use her diaries as a way to experiment with form and her evolving modernist style.
