WOOLF, Virginia. A Writer's Diary
WOOLF, Virginia. A Writer's Diary. Edited by Leonard Woolf. London: The Hogarth Press. 1953. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s orange cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the dust jacket designed by Vanessa Bell. A very good copy, the cloth clean, the binding tight and gently rolled, publisher’s orange topstain bright with a few faint spots. Contents clean and fine throughout but for a couple of minor tape marks to endpapers. The dust jacket unclipped (18s net) with several small closed tears and a couple of instances of loss around spine head, some light grubbiness, but still an attractive example.
A fairly respectable copy of extracts from Woolf’s diaries which she kept from 1915 until only a few days before her death in 1941, selected by her husband, Leonard. In his preface, Leonard explains the difficulty in selecting a very small portion of entries from many, many volumes which the couple had bound using scraps from their press, in respect of both Virginia’s memory and the many members of the Bloomsbury Group who were still living. Most of the bound volumes are now held at the University of Sussex. A handsome copy. Printed in an edition of 9000 copies. [Kirkpatrick & Clarke A31a]
