Clear, bright, burnished ... the moods that it expresses are a true kind of poetry' The New York Times Tracing the lives of a group of friends, The Waves follows their development from childhood to middle age. While social events, individual achievements and disappointments form its narrative, the novel is most remarkable for the rich poetic language that expresses the inner life of its characters: their aspirations, their triumphs and regrets, their awareness of unity and isolation, and their questioning of the meaning of life itself. Perhaps more than any of Woolf's novels, The Waves conveys the endless complexities of human experience. Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Kate Flint

'One of the greatest elegies in the English language, a book which transcends time' Margaret Drabble To the Lighthouse is at once a vivid impressionistic depiction of a family, the Ramseys, whose annual summer holiday in Scotland falls under the shadow of war, and a meditation on marriage, on parenthood and childhood, on grief, tyranny and bitterness. The novel's use of stream of consciousness, reminiscence and shifting perspectives gives it an intimate, poetic essence, and at the time of publication in 1927 it represented an utter rejection of all that had gone before.

At a dinner party in 1922, Virginia Woolf met the renowned author, aristocrat - and sapphist - Vita Sackville-West. Virginia wrote in her diary that she didn't think much of Vita's conversation, but she did think very highly of her legs. It was to be the start of almost twenty years of flirtation, friendship, and literary collaboration. Their correspondence ended only with Virginia's death in 1941. Intimate and playful, these selected letters and diary entries allow us to hear these women's constantly changing feelings for each other in their own words. Eavesdrop on the affair that inspired Virginia to write her most fantastical novel, Orlando, and discover a relationship that - even a hundred years later - feels radical and relatable.

The serene and maternal Mrs. Ramsay, the tragic yet absurd Mr. Ramsay, and their children and assorted guests are on holiday on the Isle of Skye. From the seemingly trivial postponement of a visit to a nearby lighthouse, Woolf constructs a remarkable, moving examination of the complex tensions and allegiances of family life and the conflict between men and women. As time winds its way through their lives, the Ramsays face, alone and simultaneously, the greatest of human challenges and its greatest triumph—the human capacity for change.

This volume combines two books which were among the greatest contributions to feminist literature this century. Together they form a brilliant attack on sexual inequality. A Room of One's Own, first published in 1929, is a witty, urbane and persuasive argument against the intellectual subjection of women, particularly women writers. The sequel, Three Guineas, is a passionate polemic which draws a startling comparison between the tyrannous hypocrisy of the Victorian patriarchal system and the evils of fascism.

A Room of One's Own (1929) has become a classic feminist essay and perhaps Virginia Woolf's best known work; The Voyage Out (1915) is highly significant as her first novel. Both focus on the place of women within the power structures of modern society. The essay lays bare the woman artist's struggle for a voice, since throughout history she has been denied the social and economic independence assumed by men. Woolf's prescription is clear: if a woman is to find creative expression equal to a man's, she must have an independent income, and a room of her own. This is both an acute analysis and a spirited rallying cry; it remains surprisingly resonant and relevant in the 21st century. The novel explores these issues more personally, through the character of Rachel Vinrace, a young woman whose ‘voyage out’ to South America opens up powerful encounters with her fellow-travellers, men and women. As she begins to understand her place in the world, she finds the happiness of love, but also sees its brute power. Woolf has a sharp eye for the comedy of English manners in a foreign milieu; but the final undertow of the novel is tragic as, in some of her finest writing, she calls up the essential isolation of the human spirit.

This volume brings together Virginia Woolf's last two novels, The Years (1937) which traces the lives of members of a dispersed middle-class family between 1880 and 1937, and Between the Acts (1941), an account of a village pageant in the summer preceding the Second World War which successfully interweaves comedy, satire and disturbing observation. Rewriting the traditional family saga and the pageant, these unsettling novels provide extraordinary critiques of Englishness and English identity while pursuing compelling existentialist and psychological themes such as the nature of time, memory, personal relationships and sexual desire. Their tightly constructed narratives enable the reader to experience the fragmented lives of their characters and the difficulties that they have in communicating with each other and even understanding themselves. Read together, these novels illuminate each other in ways that will engage both the student and the general reader.

Powieść Pani Dalloway jest tak samo popularna jak znana i kontrowersyjna jest jej autorka, Virginia Woolf. Angielską pisarkę nie bez powodu traktuje się jako jedną z ważniejszych postaci literatury modernistycznej XX wieku. Akcja Pani Dalloway toczy się w Londynie, pewnego czerwcowego dnia 1923 roku. Główna bohaterka, Klarysa Dalloway, przechadza się po mieście, rozmyśla nad swoim życiem, utraconą miłością i nad czekającym ją wieczornym spotkaniu z dawnym ukochanym. Wydaje się, jakby niewiele się w tej powieści działo, a jednak emocje i namiętności, które targają tytułową panią Dalloway, sprawiają, że wraz z nią odkrywamy, co może się kryć pod powierzchnią rodzinnego szczęścia i harmonii. Książka Virginii Woolf ujmuje pięknym językiem, poetyckimi metaforami, plastycznymi opisami Londynu i prawdziwością przemyśleń głównej bohaterki, żyjącej wspomnieniami.

'A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction' Ranging from the silent fate of Shakespeare's gifted (imaginary) sister to Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë and the effects of poverty and sexual constraint on female creativity, A Room of One's Own, based on a lecture given at Girton College, Cambridge, is one of the great feminist polemics. Published almost a decade later, Three Guineas breaks new ground in its discussion of men, militarism and women's attitudes towards war. These two pieces reveal Virginia Woolf's fiery spirit, sophisticated wit and genius as an essayist.

Once described as the 'longest and most charming love-letter in literature', the Virginia Woolf's Orlando is edited by Brenda Lyons with an introduction and notes by Sandra M. Gilbert in Penguin Classics. Written for Virginia Woolf's intimate friend, the charismatic writer Vita Sackville-West, Orlando is a playful mock 'biography' of a chameleonic historical figure, immortal and ageless, who changes sex and identity on a whim. First masculine, then feminine, Orlando begins life as a young sixteenth-century nobleman, then gallops through three centuries to end up as a woman writer in Virginia Woolf's own time. A wry commentary on gender roles and modes of history, Orlando is also, in Woolf's own words, a light-hearted 'writer's holiday' which delights in ambiguity and capriciousness.

Flush was an English cocker spaniel who belonged to the nineteenth-century poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Virginia Woolf learned of him from the love letters Elizabeth wrote to her future husband, fellow poet Robert Browning, and found ‘the figure of their dog made me laugh so, I couldn't resist making him a Life.’ The resulting ‘biography’ combines sensuous imaginative description with sharp social comment, and brings Woolf’s unsentimental humour and insight to the fore. We see Flush as loyal confidant to Elizabeth on her sickbed at Wimpole Street, and from his jealous perspective we witness her courtship by Browning, their elopement and new life in Italy. The perfect accessible introduction to Woolf’s genius, a unique blend of fact and fiction, Flush is perhaps best read in the company of a canine companion.

To the Lighthouse is at once a vivid impressionistic depiction of a family holiday, and a meditation on marriage, on parenthood and childhood, on grief, tyranny and bitterness. For years now the Ramsays have spent every summer in their holiday home in Scotland, and they expect these summers will go on forever; but as the First World War looms, the integrity of family and society will be fatally challenged. With a psychologically introspective mode, the use of memory, reminiscence and shifting perspectives gives the novel an intimate, poetic essence, and at the time of publication in 1927 it represented an utter rejection of Victorian and Edwardian literary values.

Londyn, czerwiec 1923. Jeden dzień z życia Klarysy Dalloway – kobiety targanej uczuciami i namiętnościami. Obserwując świat z perspektywy kilkorga bohaterów, Virginia Woolf odkrywa to, co ukryte za fasadą ładu, harmonii i rodzinnego szczęścia. Klasyka, którą trzeba znać. „Co za rozkosz! Jaka cudowna kąpiel! Bo tak to zawsze odczuwała, kiedy z cichym skrzypieniem zawiasów, które dotąd słyszy, otwierała drzwi balkonowe i wychodziła w Bourton na taras. Jak rześkie, jak ciche – cichsze naturalnie niż tutaj – było powietrze wczesnym rankiem; jak pluśnięcie fali, jak pocałunek fali; chłodne i ostre, a jednak (miała wtedy osiemnaście lat) dziwnie uroczyste, bo kiedy tak stała w otwartych drzwiach na taras, ogarniało ją uczucie, że za chwilę zdarzy się coś przerażającego.” (fragment powieści) Virginia Woolf – angielska pisarka i feministka, jedna z czołowych pisarek literatury modernistycznej XX wieku, członkini Bloomsbury Group. Autorka m.in. powieści Do latarni morskiej i Orlando oraz esejów Własny pokój i Trzy gwinee.

Arcydzieło prozy modernistycznej. Fale, wydane w 1931 roku, uchodzą za jedną z najbardziej eksperymentalnych powieści Virginii Woolf, która wykorzystuje tu technikę strumienia świadomości, miesza swobodnie poezję z prozą, koncentruje się na głębi psychologicznej bohaterów i - jak sama stwierdziła – przedkłada 'rytm' nad 'akcję'. W ogrodzie nad morzem od świtu do zmierzchu, od dzieciństwa po starość, sześciu bohaterów snuje na przemian swoje monologi. Zmieniają się pory dnia, upływają lata, odmieniają się ich uczucia i oni sami, lecz ich głosom niezmiennie towarzyszy ten sam szum morskich fal. Fale Virginii Woolf to powieść o przemijaniu czasu i pragnieniu harmonii w chaosie wszechświata. To także literackie studium tożsamości indywiduum oraz tożsamości wspólnoty.
