'The relation between public and private was a persistent concern for Virginia Woolf throughout her career. Anna Snaith's meticulous study of that relation will put it where it belongs: at the heart of a proper understanding of Woolf's work as a writer and a feminist.' - David Trotter, Professor of English, University College London '...explores Woolf's feminism and socialism, and gives a thoughtful account of her highly characteristic narrative technique...most original.' - Julia Briggs, Times Literary Supplement '...an important contribution to Woolf studies, particularly in its discussions of Woolf's feministm and pacifism, her narrative strategies, her attitudes about gender and class, and her views on history, fact and fiction.' - Diana L Swanson, N. Illinois University, Woolf Studies Annual '...some very valuable research...admirable.' - Virginia Woolf Bulletin
