Virginia Woolf. The Common Reader. Harcourt Brace and Company, 1954.

Price: US$50.00 + shipping

Condition: Very Good

Description: The Common Reader , a collection of essays by Virginia Woolf, was published in two series, the first in 1925 and the second in 1932. This edition reprints the first series, first published in 1925. Most of the essays appeared originally in such publications as the Times Literary Supplement , The Nation, New Statesman , Life and Letters, Dial, Vogue, and The Yale Review . The title indicates Woolf's intention that her essays be read by the "common reader" who reads books for personal enjoyment. A far cry from her wistful and introspective fiction, Woolf's essays on literature read as lively, droll, and conversational. These essays focus on famous literary figures as well as the craft of fiction; written in confident but inviting prose designed specifically for what Woolf called the common reader, they interweave biography, wit, social commentary, and literary analysis. Woolf typically seems disinterested in offering definitive arguments or reaching grand conclusions. She instead concerns herself with viewing a given writer or topic from several interpretive angles so that she might reveal as much about her subject as she can in a single essay, to a broad audience consisting of non-academic readers. Essays include "Notes on an Elizabethan Play," "Modern Fiction," "Outlines," and "How it Strikes a Contemporary." Trade edition; no stated publishing history so presumed first edition, first printing thus. Publisher book number HB10, cover price $1.15. This is a used book. Pages are clean and bright with no markings, notes, or highlighting. Covers of heavy Verso paper show shelf wear; the upper rear corner shows a mild crease. Side of text block shows a small (1/4 inch by 1/4 inch) red blot. Previous owner's bookplate on inside front cover, not ex-library. Binding is tight and square. Price sticker on rear cover. Corners not bumped, but there is a chip out of the upper front corner. A good reading copy.

A near fine copy in the publisher's orange cloth covered boards, stamped silver on the spine in a beautiful Vanessa Bell dust wrapper, an almost indiscernible closed tear on the front panel.Some shelf-wear. 8vo. 356 pp. Edited and with a Preface by Leonard Woolf. A partial view of Woolf, pertaining strictly to her writing. It was not until Woolf's full Diaries were published that they were recognized as one of her literary masterpieces. A lovely copy indeed. "If Virginia Woolf at the age of 50, when she sits down to build her memoirs out of these books, is unable to make a phrase as it should be made, I can only condole with her and remind her of the existence of the fireplace, where she has my leave to burn these pages to so many black films with red eyes in them."
