Description: Royal blue cloth boards, lettered in gilt on spine. 436 pp. Offsetting and neat collector's bookplate to upper endpapers, else a very good copy without a dust jacket. First American edition, later impression within 1937. The Years is considered one of Woolf's lesser-known but significant works, categorized as a hybrid between fiction and a kind of historical document. It follows the lives of the Pargiter family members from 1889 to the late 1930s, offering a snapshot of British society during this period of profound change. Through the Pargiter family's experiences, Woolf examines the impact of societal changes, such as the suffrage movement, World War I, and the economic shifts of the early 20th century. The characters' personal struggles and growth are intertwined with these larger historical events, creating a nuanced portrayal of how individuals are shaped by their time and environment. Woolf also plays with the concept of memory and its subjectivity. She depicts memories as fragmented and malleable, suggesting that individuals construct their own versions of the past. This exploration of memory ties into the broader theme of the fluidity of time and the complex interplay between past, present, and future. Overall, The Years offers a multi-layered narrative that invites readers to reflect on the passage of time, the changing nature of society within that time, and the intricate workings of individual consciousness. The Years was the last novel written by Woolf published before her death in March, 1941. KIRKPATRICK A22b.

The dust jacket is protected from further wear by a Mylar sleeve. *********************************** " 'A brilliant fantasia of all Time's problems, age and youth, change and permanence, truth and illusion' The Times Literary Supplement ***** The Years is the story of the Pargiter family - their intimacies and estrangements, anxieties and triumphs - mapped out against the bustling rhythms of London's streets during the first decades of the twentieth century, as their Victorian upbringing gives way to a new world, where the rules of etiquette have shifted from the drawing room to the air-raid shelter. Virginia Woolf's penultimate novel is a celebration of the resilience of the individual amid time, change, life, death and renewal. ***** 'Her richest and most beautiful novel' The New York Times" ////////////////////////////// Adeline Virginia Woolf (25 January 1882 28 March 1941) was an English writer. She is considered one of the most important modernist 20th-century authors and a pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device. ///// Woolf was born into an affluent household in South Kensington, London, the seventh child of Julia Prinsep Jackson and Leslie Stephen in a blended family of eight that included the modernist painter Vanessa Bell. She was home-schooled in English classics and Victorian literature from a young age. From 1897 to 1901, she attended the Ladies' Department of King's College London, where she studied classics and history and came into contact with early reformers of women's higher education and the women's rights movement. ///// After her father's death in 1904, the Stephen family moved from Kensington to the more bohemian Bloomsbury, where, in conjunction with the brothers' intellectual friends, they formed the artistic and literary Bloomsbury Group. ///// In 1912, she married Leonard Woolf, and in 1917, the couple founded the Hogarth Press, which published much of her work. They rented a home in Sussex and later moved there permanently in 1940. ///// Woolf began writing professionally in 1900. During the inter-war period, Woolf was an important part of London's literary and artistic society. In 1915, she published her first novel, The Voyage Out, through her half-brother's publishing house, Gerald Duckworth and Company. ///// Her best-known works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928). She is also known for her essays, such as A Room of One's Own (1929). ///// Woolf became one of the central subjects of the 1970s movement of feminist criticism. Her works, translated into more than 50 languages, have attracted attention and widespread commentary for inspiring feminism. ///// A large body of writing is dedicated to her life and work. She has been the subject of plays, novels and films. Woolf is commemorated by statues, societies dedicated to her work and a building at the University of London. ********** The above text was taken from, respectively, Penguin publishing (via Google Books) and Wikipedia.
