Virginia Woolf

Avrom Fleishman is a retired professor of English at the Johns Hopkins University and is the author of numerous books, including The English Historical Novel: Walter Scott to Virginia Woolf, Virginia Woolf: A Critical Reading (both available from Johns Hopkins), The Condition of English, and New Class Culture.

Fleishman has produced a valuable and impressive work of formalist criticism. He offers a thorough, incisive, and genuinely original analysis of Virginia Woolf's major novels. Even the most jaded of Woolf scholars will find new and relevant material in Fleishman's penetrating study. Virginia Quarterly Review
