About This Item
New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1978. First edition. Tall octavo. Printed blue wrapper. Fine in slightly frayed proof dust jacket. Uncorrected page proofs of the first U.S. edition, edited by Anne Olivier Bell and assisted by Andrew McNeillie. A laid in sheet corrects the assertion on the upper wrapper, but not the proof dust jacket, that Quentin Bell contributed an Introduction to this volume. He did so for the prior volume, not this volume.
This, the second volume of Woolf's diaries, covers a crucial period in Woolf's development as a writer as it records the successful completion of her two best known works, To the Lighthouse (1927) and The Waves (1931), as well as the magnificent Orlando: A Biography (1928). Additionally, Woolf conveys her satisfaction with her increasing financial security and social assurance, and reveals the happiness and support she found in her relationship with Vita Sackville-West.
