The Years is perhaps Virginia Woolf's most politically and historically embedded novel. It covers a period of intense social change from the 1880s to the 1930s, making direct reference to suffrage, Irish Home Rule, the First World War and anti-semitism. The novel's composition history is unusually complex; the text changed radically from its inception in 1931 to its publication in 1937. This edition provides readers with a fully collated and annotated text. It includes a substantial introduction that charts the composition process, a detailed chronology and full annotation of all historical, cultural and topographical references. All variants from extant galley and page proofs, as well as editions of the novel produced in Woolf's lifetime, are included, and reveal the significant and crucial changes Woolf made even in the months before publication.
Woolfs berømte roman, der følger en kvindes gøremål og tanker gennem én enkelt dag, er et panorama af håb, erindringer og nederlag – og et af litteraturens fineste storbyportrætter. En sommermorgen i begyndelsen af 1920’erne går Clarissa Dalloway ud i et myldrende London for at købe ind til det selskab, hun vil holde samme aften. Mens vi følger hendes forberedelser, sender den strålende junidag hendes tanker på flugt. Den dag, der slutter med Clarissas aftenselskab, følger vi i en ubrudt strøm af skiftende synsvinkler de tanker, som Clarissa - og hendes omgangskreds – gør sig om livet, som det har formet sig for dem. »Denne fantastiske nervedirrende bog om en enkelt dag i en engelsk overklassekvindes liv er et bombardement af rystelser og stemninger, af fortid og nutid. Det er en fuldstændig besættende og uforglemmelig roman.«- Poul Borum. Denne udgave, der er en del af Rosinantes klassikerserie, har forord af den danske forfatter Josefine Klougart.

Virginia Woolf is thought to be the foremost modernist writer of the twentieth century. Her most famous writings are reproduced in full in a single volume: Mrs Dalloway (1925), - A day in the life of a woman who is preparing a party. The novel stretches forwards and backwards in time as Clarissa wonders about the choices she has made. To the Lighthouse (1927) - a novel about loss and subjectivity. The Modern Library named it as No. 15 on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the
La primera de las novelas con que Virginia Woolf revolucion la narrativa de su tiempo. «Virginia Woolf es dios, nadie ha escrito mejor. -Milena Busquets «Igual que James Joyce y Marcel Proust domin el manejo del flujo de conciencia de los personajes, pero ella a ade un valor extra, la sensibilidad femenina. -Maria Vargas Llosa La se ora Dalloway relata un d a en la vida londinense de Clarissa, una dama de alta alcurnia casada con un diputado conservador y madre de una adolescente. La historia comienza una soleada ma ana de 1923 y termina esa misma noche, cuando empiezan a retirarse los invitados de una fiesta que se celebra en la mansi n de los Dalloway. Aunque en el curso del d a acaece un hecho tr gico -el suicidio de un joven que volvi de la guerra ps quicamente perturbado-, lo esencial de la obra estriba en que los sucesos est n narrados desde la mente de los personajes, con un lenguaje capaz de dibujar los meandros y ritmos escurridizos de la conciencia y de expresar la condici n de la mujer de un modo a la vez ntimo y objetivo.
Written in the same period as Mrs Dalloway these seven short stories show the author's fascination with parties and with all the excitement, the fluctuations of mood and temper and the heightened emotions which surround these social occasions.

This volume brings together Virginia Woolf’s last two novels, The Years (1937) which traces the lives of members of a dispersed middle-class family between 1880 and 1937, and Between the Acts (1941), an account of a village pageant in the summer preceding the Second World War which successfully interweaves comedy, satire and disturbing observation. Rewriting the traditional family saga and the pageant, these unsettling novels provide extraordinary critiques of Englishness and English identity while pursuing compelling existentialist and psychological themes such as the nature of time, memory, personal relationships and sexual desire. Their tightly constructed narratives enable the reader to experience the fragmented lives of their characters and the difficulties that they have in communicating with each other and even understanding themselves. Read together, these novels illuminate each other in ways that will engage both the student and the general reader.
On a June morning in 1923, Clarissa Dalloway, the glittering wife of a Member of Parliament, is preparing for a party she is giving that evening. As she walks through London, buying flowers, observing life, her thoughts are of the past and she remembers the time when she was as young as her own daughter Elizabeth, and her romance with Peter Walsh.
Virginia Woolf skapar i Ett eget rum en formel för kvinnors intellektuella, ekonomiska och sociala frigörelse som fått ett oerhört genomslag. Med humor, fantasi och klarsynthet tar hon läsaren på hisnande utflykter i tid och rum, på höstliga vandringar i London, Oxford och Cambridge liksom på besök hos galna hertiginnor och blyga brevskrivare. Fast besluten att avslöja grundförutsättningarna för konstnärligt skapande forskar hon på British Museum och förser Shakespeare med en imaginär syster. Trots många uttryck för välformulerad vrede är det ett sant nöje att följa hennes inträngande analys och eleganta argumentation. Woolfs vilja att dyka ner i historien för att förstå sin egen position som kvinna och författare har visat sig meningsbärande långt utöver hennes egen tid. Nyöversättning av Elisabeth Mansén, förord av Annina Rabe och kommentarer av Maria Green.

Virginia Woolf’s second novel, Night and Day (1919), portrays the gradual changes in a society, the patterns and conventions of which are slowly disintegrating; where the representatives of the younger generation struggle to forge their own way, for ‘... life has to be faced: to be rejected; then accepted on new terms with rapture’. Woolf begins to experiment with the novel form while demonstrating her affection for the literature of the past. Jacob’s Room (1922), Woolf’s third novel, marks the bold affirmation of her own voice and search for a new form to express her view that ‘the human soul … orientates itself afresh every now & then. It is doing so now. No one can see it whole therefore.’ Jacob’s life is presented in subtle, delicate and tantalising glimpses, the novel’s gaps and silences are as replete with meaning as the wicker armchair creaking in the empty room.

A Room of One’s Own (1929) has become a classic feminist essay and perhaps Virginia Woolf’s best known work; The Voyage Out (1915) is highly significant as her first novel. Both focus on the place of women within the power structures of modern society. The essay lays bare the woman artist’s struggle for a voice, since throughout history she has been denied the social and economic independence assumed by men. Woolf’s prescription is clear: if a woman is to find creative expression equal to a man’s, she must have an independent income, and a room of her own. This is both an acute analysis and a spirited rallying cry; it remains surprisingly resonant and relevant in the 21st century. The novel explores these issues more personally, through the character of Rachel Vinrace, a young woman whose ‘voyage out’ to South America opens up powerful encounters with her fellow-travellers, men and women. As she begins to understand her place in the world, she finds the happiness of love, but also sees its brute power. Woolf has a sharp eye for the comedy of English manners in a foreign milieu; but the final undertow of the novel is tragic as, in some of her finest writing, she calls up the essential isolation of the human spirit.
Virginia Woolf skriver om kvinnor och män, om det hon längtar efter och det hon vill kritisera, om det nära och det främmande. Hon besöker lantliga adelsgods och koloniala stadsmiljöer, men också gruvor och fabriker. Hon reser i tid och rum och registrerar skiftande synintryck och dofter. Överallt finner hon människor som vill uttrycka sig. De skriver och samtalar, anförtror sig åt sin dagbok, kastar ner hastiga brev, håller tal, fotograferar och författar romaner. Det ger material till en volym med stor spännvidd och många möjligheter att fånga läsarens intresse.
