Street Haunting and Other Essays: Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf began writing reviews for the Guardian `to make a few pence` from her father`s death in 1904, and continued until the last decade of her life. The result is a phenomenal collection of articles, of which this selection offers a fascinating glimpse, which display the gifts of a dazzling social and literary critic as well as the development of a brilliant and influential novelist. From reflections on class and education, to slyly ironic reviews, musings on the lives of great men and `Street Haunting`, a superlative tour of her London neighbourhood, this is Woolf at her most thoughtful and entertaining.
