Description: The ponderous woman looked through the pattern of falling words at the flowers standing cool firm and upright in the earth with a curious expression So heavy the woman came to a standstill opposite the oval shaped flowerbed and ceased even to pretend to listen to what the other woman was saying. Virginia Woolf's short fiction has long been acknowledged as the place where she tried out some of her more experimental techniques before adopting and adapting them for use in her novel - length works. While this is certainly true it is also the case that these short pieces are now increasingly being recognized as important works of art in their own right rather than simply flights of experimental fancy awaiting their full actualization in the novel form. This new edition edited by Bryony Randall emphasises the startling variety in Woolf's experimentation during the most productive period of short fiction writing in Woolf's life the late 1910s through to the end of the 1920s. It draws readers attention to the deep political engagements evident across the range of her work and on the recent burgeoning of work in modernist print culture to set out the importance of the material context of these works initial publication and reception.
