Virginia Woolf is often admired from a distance. This anthology brings her close. Seven short stories — each one a window into her modernist world — with introductions that tell you what to notice before you start reading.

Have you wanted to read Woolf but worried her modernist style would be too difficult? You're not alone. But her short stories are perfect entry points into her work — and into modernism itself. Includes a substantial excerpt from A Room of One's Own, connecting the short fiction to Woolf's own thinking about gender, creativity, and artistic freedom.
