Condition: Very Good

Description: First printing of the first American edition, published in the same year as the first UK edition, with 'Garden City New York 1937' stated on the title page and 'Copyright 1937' stated on the printer's page. The book was first published in the UK by The Hogarth Press. ***Very good in white woven cloth-covered boards with a navy-blue spine, on which there is a decorative oval panel with gilt titles on a white background and the publisher in gilt at the bottom of the spine. With a blind-stamped 'V S-W' monograph on the front board. The boards are clean and largely unmarked, just small marks with a little fading and browning marks at the edges. The head and tail of the spine are slightly creased, but there are no reading creases. No bumps - corners sharp. No tears to the cloth. Top edge of page block slightly darkened and dusty. Fore-edge and lower edge of page block untrimmed, as is usual for American editions. No foxing. No fading. Internally also near fine with a neat contemporary ownership name and date in ink at the top of the front free endpaper. No creases or tears. Pages clean with no foxing. Printed on thick quality paper - the paper stock just lightly tanned. Spine tight. ***In a very good original dustwrapper, which has been neatly price-clipped at the top corner of the front flap. The dustwrapper is largely complete, but there is some chipping and loss at the head and tail of the spine - not affecting the titles. There is also slight loss at the corner tips of the foldovers - mainly at the bottom of the front foldover. There are some slight creases and nicks at the edges. The back panel is very slightly marked, being a white background. The spine of the dustwrapper has some fading to the red colour but is otherwise quite clean. ***220mm x 150mm. 309 pages. ***'Victoria Mary Sackville-West, Lady Nicolson, CH (9 Mar 1892 - 2 Jun 1962), usually known as Vita Sackville-West, was an English author and garden designer. Vita Sackville-West was a successful novelist, poet, and journalist, as well as a prolific letter writer and diarist. She published more than a dozen collections of poetry and 13 novels during her lifetime. She was twice awarded the Hawthornden Prize for Imaginative Literature: in 1927 for her pastoral epic, "The Land", and in 1933 for her "Collected Poems". She was the inspiration for the protagonist of "Orlando: A Biography", by her famous friend and lover, Virginia Woolf. (Wiki) ***'Witty, frank, completely devoid of reticences, this unconventional memoir of the extraordinary Sackville-West family could have been written only by the brilliant author of "The Edwardians" and "All Passion Spent"' - quote taken from the front panel of the dustwrapper. ***'Josefa Durán y Ortega (1830 - 1872), known by the stage name Pepita de Oliva, was a Romani Spanish dancer who performed across Europe, popularizing Spanish flamenco dancing and costumes. Despite her official marriage with her dance teacher Juan Antonio Gabriel de la Oliva in 1851, the following year she established a partnership with the British diplomat Lionel Sackville-West with whom she had five children. Her daughter Victoria gave birth to the English writer Vita Sackville-West, who in 1937 published a biography of her grandmother titled Pepita. (Wiki) ***A first printing of the first American edition, published in the same year as the first UK edition. Copies in their original dustwrappers are hard to find now. This is a very nice example of the title. The American publication is of superior quality to the Hogarth Press edition, which was produced using quite cheap materials. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

This copy is a 1st American edition, 1st printing of the work published by Harcourt Brace in 1937. 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.

Allinson (Francesca). A Childhood. With wood engravings by Enid Marx.. Leonard & Virginia Woolf at The Hogarth Press, 1937.

Price: US$390.20 + shipping

Description: FIRST EDITION, the 7 engravings placed as chapter-headings, a couple of spots to title-page, the verso of this and facing Contents page faintly browned from previous insert, pp. 187, 8vo, original blue cloth, backstrip lettered in gilt, slightly rubbed at extremities, slightly later gift inscription to flyleaf, a few spots to free endpapers, dustjacket with a design by Enid Marx, chipped at extremities with a little loss at foot of backstrip panel, lightly browned overall, repricing sticker to backstrip panel corresponding to discreet price in ink at head of front panel (5/-), some rubbing, good. Her sole literary work, scarce. An autobiographical novel: the dustjacket considers inconclusively that the book is 'either biographical fiction or fictional biography', whilst Allinson's Foreword avers, 'Charlotte is more like myself than anyone else: yet if she strikes you as odd, have patience with her'; the chronology of the narrative is no easier to classify – as the author acknowledges, 'the seasons of one year pass and at the same time Charlotte grows from about nine to fourteen' – but more straightforward are the design elements supplied by Allinson's friend Enid Marx, in her only work for the Woolfs. Allinson shared with Marx an interest in folk-forms, particularly folk-song – a musician and puppeteer, she was among the closest friends of the composer Michael Tippett. The printed dedication of this book is to her partner, the actress Judith Wogan (of the Arts League of Service). Tippett and Wogan were the recipients of notes left by Allinson before she drowned herself in 1945. (Woolmer 414)

First edition, published March 1937 at the Woolf's Tavistock Square home and publishing company. Woolf was said to have been pleased with THE YEARS because it sold more copies on reception than any of her other novels but she felt a failure, as she wrote in her private correspondence to her friend Margaret Keynes [sister-in-law to Maynard Keynes], "20th June 1937 Dear Margaret, It was very nice of you to write. It's so seldom any letter about one's books gives one pleasure but yours did; for one thing you liked some of the same people that I liked . I thought it a complete failure when I'd done: it's a marvel to me that you find it not mere old wives gossip: I was very excited when I wrote it, I remember -- only it was way too long and I was ill, and I couldn't pull it together. And oh, what a grind it was, cutting out, and trying to make a whole of it. But now your letter is a consolation" -- Nicolson, Vol. Six, p.138. . WOOLMER 423; KIRKPATRICK A22a.

The Years is the last novel by Virginia Woolf published in her lifetime. It traces the history of the Pargiter family from the 1880s to the "present day" of the mid-1930s. The novel had its inception in a lecture Woolf gave to the National Society for Women's Service on January 21, 1931, an edited version of which would later be published as "Professions for Women". Having recently published A Room of One's Own, Woolf thought of making this lecture the basis of a new book-length essay on women, this time taking a broader view of their economic and social life, rather than focusing on women as artists, as the first book had. As she was working on correcting the proofs of The Waves and beginning the essays for The Common Reader, Second Series, the idea for this essay took shape in a diary entry for 16 February 1932: "And I'm quivering & itching to write my--whats it to be called?--'Men are like that?'--no thats too patently feminist: the sequel then, for which I have collected enough powder to blow up St Pauls. It is to have 4 pictures" (capitalization and punctuation as in manuscript). The reference to "4 pictures" in this diary entry shows the early connection between The Years and Three Guineas, which would, indeed, include photographs. On 11 October 1932, she titled the manuscript "THE PARGITERS: An Essay based upon a paper read to the London/National Society for Women's Service". Kirkpatrick A22a.

Woolf, Virginia. The Years.. Hogarth Press, London, 1937.

Price: US$1650.00 + shipping

Description: First edition of the most successful of Woolf's later novels, often viewed as her masterpiece. Octavo, bound in full morocco by the Harcourt Bindery, gilt titles and ruling to the spine, raised bands, gilt ruled to the front and rear panels, gilt signature to the front panel, inner dentelles, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. In fine condition. An exceptional presentation. Virginia Woolf struggled for years with this novel, hoping to incorporate into a fictional form deep and meaningful commentary on the English middle class. Her efforts to revise, rewrite and edit what would become her longest work led her to compare it to "a long childbirth." On publication, audiences and critics responded eagerly, making her truly wealthy for the first time in her life. Viewed as her masterpiece, here Woolf "triumphantly accomplished what she set out to achieve: 'a full, bustling live book'" (Bradshaw & Blyth, eds., The Years).
