Virginia Woolf and the Essay is one of the first critical studies to focus exclusively on Woolf's essays and thereby anticipates what is fast becoming the next major area of interest in Woolf studies. The collection begins with an introduction that surveys the historical reception of Virginia Woolf's essays, and then sketches out a methodological study of Woolf's essays by placing them within historical, literary-historical, reader-orientated, generic, and feminist contexts. As Virginia Woolf and the Essay proves, Woolf's essays are as fresh and delightful, as complex and inviting, to us now as they were to her original readers.
