The Waves is one of the greatest achievements in modern literature.
Commonly considered the most important, challenging and ravishingly
poetic of Virginia Woolf's novels, it was in her own estimation
'the most complex and difficult of all my books'. This edition will
be the most authoritative, most fully collated and annotated text
available to scholars to date, and for considerable time to come.
It maps the text of The Waves from the first British edition to all
other editions published in Woolf's lifetime, as well as to all
extant proofs. The text is presented in clearly readable form, with
page-by-page direction to emendation, variants, and notes. The
substantial introduction includes a detailed account of the novel's
composition, publication and early critical reception. There are
extensive explanatory notes on the text, a full chronology of
composition and publication and a more general chronology covering
Woolf's life and works.
