Emma Sutton is Senior Lecturer in English at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. Her publications include Aubrey Beardsley and British Wagnerism in the 1890s (Oxford UP, 2002), and Opera and the Novel (co-edited with Michael Downes, 2012). She is a contributor to Cambridge UP’s forthcoming Wagner Encyclopedia, is editing The Voyage Out for their scholarly edition of Woolf’s work and has written widely and broadcast on music and literature.

Persuasive and engrossing from the outset, this much needed, wide-ranging and authoritative work is a substantial contribution to Woolf studies. Invited to attend afresh to her writings, we close Sutton’s book retuned to Woolf’s complexities and reawakened to her meanings.
