Flush - A Biography is Virginia Woolf's imaginative and poignant account of the life of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's beloved cocker spaniel, Flush.


Through the eyes of this charming dog, Woolf weaves a narrative that explores themes far beyond a simple pet's adventures—touching on issues of class, gender, and the nature of identity. Interpreted variously as an allegory of class struggle and a commentary on feminist and gender issues, Flush is a richly layered work that invites readers to consider the intersections of animality, humanity, and social expectations.


First published in 1933, this unique and thought-provoking biography is essential reading for anyone interested in feminist literature and Woolf's broader literary oeuvre. In this edition, readers will also find Woolf's insightful essay The Art of Biography, where she delves into the craft of life-writing, offering valuable context to her approach in Flush.

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf was born in London in 1882. After her father's death in 1904 Virginia and her sister, the painter Vanessa Bell, moved to Bloomsbury and became the centre of ‘The Bloomsbury Group’. This informal collective of artists and writers exerted a powerful influence over early twentieth-century British culture.

In 1912 Virginia married Leonard Woolf, a writer and social reformer. Three years later, her first novel The Voyage Out was published, followed by Night and Day (1919) and Jacob's Room (1922). Between 1925 and 1931 Virginia Woolf produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, from Mrs Dalloway (1925) to The Waves (1931).

She also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism and biography. On 28 March 1941, a few months before the publication of her final novel, Between the Acts, Virginia Woolf committed suicide.
