WOOLF, Virginia. Three Guineas
WOOLF, Virginia. Three Guineas. London: The Hogarth Press. 1938. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s pale yellow cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the splendid dust jacket designed by the author’s sister, Vanessa Bell. A sharp copy, the cloth slightly faded at spine with small stain to front panel corner and again at spine foot leading around to bottom rear board. The binding tight and square, and the contents very clean indeed. Small bookseller label to front pastedown, faint offsetting to endpapers, else clean and bright. The dust jacket priced 7/6 to the spine panel which is slightly darkened. Some shallow nicks and tiny closed tears across the corners and some edges, but a very pleasing example overall.
A three-fold answer in non-fiction form to three separate requests received by Woolf for a guinea each for peace, education, and work. The work is one of Woolf’s most actively feminist and is equal parts measured and fierce. It was the outcome of her own struggles with what eventually became The Waves (1931)—a larger work was to juxtapose the two in a single volume. Uncommon in such condition.
