Taking family, friends, and servants as her subjects, Virginia Woolf here presents a series of impressions of the people around her. As she describes their lives in this little known collection of sketches—including an in-depth piece on her nephew Julian Bell and works on Bloomsbury figures Lady Ottoline Morrell and Lady Strachey—she also reveals much about her own attitudes—to her writing, the war, and education. The result is a fascinating and revealing work that will significantly expand on what is currently available of her biographical writings. Acclaimed for her innovative style, Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) is one of the most important figures of the Modernist movement.

(Adeline) Virginia Woolf was an English novelist and essayist regarded as one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century. During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a member of the Bloomsbury Group. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs. Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929) with its famous dictum, "a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."
