Essays on the Self
by Virginia Woolf, Joanna Kavenna
Description
In these essays Virginia Woolf explores the nature of the finite self ('Who am I?' 'Who is eveybody else?') and how individual experience might be relayed. She discusses the rights of women, the revolutions of modernity, the future of the novel. She is eloquent on social inequality and the agony of war. She fights with local demons, she mocks those who mock her, and generally prevails.

The essays chosen here were written between 1919 when Woolf was 37 and 1940 when she was 58. During this time, Woolf changed, many times over, her opinions changed, her circumstances too; she was not a fixed entity, reiterating a rigid and immaculate position each time she picked up her pen.
