Selected Short Stories 9780141183138

　　Virginia Woolf tested the boundaries of fiction in these short stories, developing a new language of sensation, feeling and thought, and recreating in words the 'swarm and confusion of life'. Defying categorization, the stories range from the more traditional narrative style of "Solid Objects" through the fragile impressionism of "Kew Gardens" to the abstract exploration of consciousness in "The Mark on the Wall".

　　Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is now recognised as a major 20th century author, a great novelist and essayist, and a key figure in literary history as a feminist and modernist.
