WOOLF, VIRGINIA. 1882-1941.
A Room of One's Own. London: Leonard and Virginia Woolf at the Hogarth Press, 1929.
8vo. Publisher's cinnamon cloth, spine lettered in gilt, original Vanessa Bell designed dust-jacket printed in blue, light offsetting to endpapers, minor chipping to jacket, strengthened with tape at spine ends and upper corner.
FIRST ENGLISH EDITION OF WOOLF'S LANDMARK CRITIQUE ON WOMEN AND FICTION. Springing from two lectures given in 1928, Woolf explores the intersection of women, literature and economics, giving rise to the oft-quoted observation, "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." Her critique however is much deeper, and her arguments and analysis have become the starting point for feminist literary criticism. "Probably the most influential piece of non-fictional writing by a woman in this century" (Hermione Lee, Financial Times). Kirkpatrick A12b.
