The Waves
Virginia Woolf, 1931
WOOLF, Virginia (1882-1941). The Waves. London: Hogarth Press, 1931.

Fine first edition of Woolf’s most experimental novel. A contemporary review in the New York Times describes The Waves as “possibly original in fiction—it is told entirely in soliloquies … The texture of the prose is a warp of sensory impressions woven into woof of poetical abstraction.” Woolf herself wrote of the work’s deviation from typical novelistic structures: “I am writing to a rhythm and not to a plot”. Kirkpatrick A16a.

Octavo. Original cloth; pictorial dust jacket designed by Vanessa Bell (some very mild toning, soft crease along top edge); custom box.
