Item #18082743
Review copy of the first edition, with Hogarth Press slip laid in, noting the date of publication as "8.10.31." Although The Waves is usually grouped with her novels, Woolf herself called this experimental work a "play-poem," an almost musical arrangement of six alternating streams of consciousness, tracing the thoughts of a group of childhood friends through their lives: "So I went out. I saw the first morning he would never see -- the sparrows were like toys dangled from a string by a child. To see things without attachment, from the outside, and to realise their beauty in itself -- how strange!" A lovely copy of a fragile book, with the scarce review slip.
