The Collected Short Stories of Virginia Woolf showcases a remarkable range of Woolf'Äôs narrative prowess, weaving together experimental structures and profound psychological depth. This anthology encompasses tales that reflect Woolf's mastery of modernist literature, characterized by her stream-of-consciousness technique, intricate characterizations, and rich symbolism. Readers will find themselves immersed in varied themes, from the intricacies of human relationships to existential musings about time and memory, all while exploring the subtleties of everyday existence in early 20th-century England. Virginia Woolf, an influential literary figure and a central figure in the modernist movement, often drew from her personal experiences and feminist ideals to inform her writing. The short stories contained in this collection were crafted during a period when Woolf was grappling with her own identity and the complexities of societal expectations, reflecting her desire to give voice to underrepresented perspectives in literature. Woolf'Äôs innovative approach to narrative form and content continually pushes the boundaries of literary convention. This collection is essential for readers interested in the evolution of modernist literature and the exploration of psychological depth in short fiction. Woolf'Äôs stories not only serve as a window into her genius but also challenge readers to engage with the multifaceted nature of existence, making it a vital addition to any literary library.

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.
