Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury avant-garde

"An ambitious account of her major writings in relation to important currents in British intellectual life in the first half of the twentieth century, this book explores Virginia Woolf's voyages, toward "new lands," "new civilisations" from her first novel, The Voyage Out, through her last, Between the Acts."--Jacket.

First sentence: Born in London in 1882 and educated in her father's library, Virginia Woolf came of age at a moment when, as Leonard Woolf put it, political and social movements gave hope that Europe "might really be on the brink of becoming civilized."
