Virginia Woolf''s writing has generated passion and controversy
for the best part of a century. Her novels – challenging, moving,
and always deeply intelligent – remain as popular with readers as
they are with students and academics. The highly successful
Cambridge Companion has been fully revised to take account of new
departures in scholarship since it first appeared. The second
edition includes new chapters on race, nation and empire,
sexuality, aesthetics, visual culture and the public sphere. The
remaining chapters, as well as the guide to further reading, have
all been fully updated. The Cambridge Companion to Virginia Woolf
remains the first port of call for students new to Woolf''s work,
with its informative, readable style, chronology and authoritative
information about secondary sources.
