Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf: A Writer's Life

Lyndall Gordon reconstructs a Woolf through her novels, diaries and letters: she was a strong walker, a hard-working professional writer, and a "tireless explorer" who explored "the strangeness of the human condition."
Lyndall Gordon's aim is not to present a conventional linear biographical narrative, but to trace, as exhaustively as authenticity allows, the continuous flow of memory and imagination throughout Woolf's life. Gordon also argues that this biographical method was invented and practiced by Woolf, reflecting a new historical perspective that values ​​the nameless.
The original book was first published in 1984. In 2006, Gordon revised it based on new materials and from a new century feminist perspective. The Chinese translation is based on the 2006 revised edition.
“Sharp and original.”
—Hermione Lee, The Times Literary Supplement
"A deeply insightful work that greatly enhances our knowledge and understanding of Woolf."
—London Magazine
Lyndall Gordon must be one of the most accomplished literary biographers of our time... a brilliant and stimulating account... a masterful account of the woman (Woolf) and her art.
——British Book News
