First published in 1959, Virginia Woolf's London takes the reader
on a tour of London with Mrs. Woolf. However, this book is much
more than a literary sightseeing tour, enjoyable though that is. As
scholar and critic, Dr. Brewster shows how Mrs. Woolf has used
London as atmosphere, theme, and even motivating force throughout
her writing. In some ways, the late novel The Years was a climax in
a long succession of 'experiments in using London impressions in
interrogating the inner and outer aspects of experience.' This book
begins and ends an era in the history of the great city which many
will appreciate, from the beginning of the 20th century, when a
23-year-old Virginia published an article on 'London Street Music,'
to the blitz of 1940 and 1941, when, as some poignant passages in
her Diary reveal, the mature novelist saw her city being battered
and burned. A book for all those who love both London and
literature.
