Virginia Woolf

The Voyage Out (26 March 1915, Duckworth; U.S. pub. by Doran, May 1920)

Woolf's first novel, begun in 1908 and heavily revised after about 1912. Manuscript editions
of the earlier version (1909-12) have been compiled and published by Louise DeSalvo
as Melymbrosia (1982), Woolf's working title for the book.

Two Stories (1917)

"The Mark on the Wall" by VW and "a story" by Leonard Woolf. The book was
published by subscription only, mainly to friends and acquaintances, and was the Hogarth
Press’s first publication.

Kew Gardens (12 May 1919)

Ten pages of text by VW, with illustrations by her sister, Vanessa Bell.

Night and Day (20 Oct 1919, Duckworth; U.S. pub. Doran, 1920)

VW considered this her "traditional" novel, in the manner of the nineteenth-century novelists
she admired.

Monday or Tuesday (7 April 1921; U.S. pub. Harcourt Brace, Nov. 1921) - stories
Includes "Kew Gardens," "The Mark on the Wall," "An Unwritten Novel" and five
previously unpublished sketches.

Jacob’s Room (27 Oct 1922; U.S. pub. Harcourt Brace, 1922)

Her first truly experimental novel and the Hogarth Press’s first large-scale work, Jacob's
Room begins Woolf's reputation as "difficult" or "highbrow." Critics compare her to James
Joyce and Dorothy Richardson. Jacob is based on Woolf's older brother Thoby Stephen, who
died of a fever in 1906, when he was in his mid-twenties.

Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown (1923)

A response to Arnold Bennett’s criticism that she "can’t create or didn’t in Jacob’s Room,
characters that survive" (Woolf paraphrasing Bennett, Writer’s Diary). First version was
published in the U.S. and then in England. A later, better-known, version was written as a
lecture to the Cambridge Heretics on 18 May 1924, then published in the Criterion under the
title "Character in Fiction," and then published by Hogarth Press as Mr. Bennett and Mrs.
Brown. Critically, "the essay became a key document, not only in the assessment of Virginia
Woolf’s work, but in relation to twentieth-century fiction generally" (Critical Heritage 17).

The Common Reader (First Series, 23 Apr 1925)

The Common Reader was Woolf's title for two series of critical essays she published (the
second series was published in 1932), mostly focused on her responses to reading and
literature. It includes biographical sketches of many writers and such now-famous essays as
"On Not Knowing Greek" and "How it Strikes a Contemporary."

Mrs. Dalloway (14 May 1925; simultaneously in England and U.S.; first time for simultaneous
publication in U.S. and England)

A novel that takes place entirely in the space of one day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, with
a parallel plot about a shell-shocked World War I veteran, Septimus Smith. The setting is
London.

To the Lighthouse (5 May 1927)

Woolf's most famous and most autobiographical novel. The novel takes place chiefly at a
family summer house based on Woolf's own family's house in Cornwall (though the novel is set
in the Hebrides), during two visits, seven years apart, with events in between described
abstractly in a middle section called "Time Passes." The "Time Passes" section had been
published in French in Dec. 1926.

See also the original holograph draft / transcribed and edited by Susan Dick
(Toronto; Buffalo: University of Toronto Press, 1982).

Orlando (2 Oct 1928)

Her most successful novel up to then, in terms of sales (even though publishing it as a
"biography" confused booksellers), Orlando traces the life of an English nobleman, Orlando,
from the Renaissance to the very moment of publication. Orlando, based on Woolf's friend Vita
Sackville-West, lives 400 years and changes into a woman in the 18th century.

A Room of One’s Own (24 Oct 1929)

Woolf's first major feminist criticism, originating in two lectures given in October 1928 to
students at the two women's colleges of Cambridge University (Newnham and Girton, here
fictionalized as "Fernham"). First published as a short essay on "Women and
Fiction" in Forum (March 1929), it was thereafter heavily revised to the present six chapters.

See also a study of extant manuscripts edited by S.P. Rosenbaum, Virginia Woolf/Women &
Fiction: The Manuscript Versions of A Room of One's Own (Oxford : Blackwell, 1992).

The Waves (October 1931)

This novel is generally considered Woolf's masterpiece, though it is also her most
experimental (some say most difficult) work.

NOTE: The first book-length criticism of VW appeared in 1932, Winifrid Holtby’s biography
and Floris Delattre’s Le Roman psychologique de Virginia Woolf. Delattre writes on VW’s use
of time (quality vs. quantity).

The Common Reader (Second Series, 1932)

This collection includes both new and revised critical essays, including biographical sketches
of Mary Wollstonecraft and Dorothy Wordsworth, and the now-famous essay "How Should One
Read a Book?"

Flush (5 Oct 1933)

A comic novel written from the point of view of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's cocker spaniel
Flush.

The Years (13 March 1937]

A bestseller, popular with critics and readers, this novel traces the life of a Victorian family,
the Pargiters, from 1880 to the "Present Day." Begun as a sequel to A Room of One's Own,
Woolf originally intended to alternate nonfiction essays with the Pargiter's story (which
illustrates the essays). Woolf ultimately extracted the nonfiction and changed the working title
from "The Pargiters" to The Years. Mitchell A. Leaska has edited the extracted portions and
published them as The Pargiters: The Novel-Essay Portion of The Years (1977), which also
includes the earlier version of the 1880 section of the novel.

Three Guineas (4 June 1938)

These feminist essays function as a sequel to A Room of One's Own, including a critique of
patriarchy (illustrated with photographs of public figures) and an argument for pacifism in the
face of the growing threat of another world war. The illustrations are not printed in modern
editions.

Roger Fry (25 July 1940)


A biography of Woolf's friend, the art critic and painter (1866-1934), who had introduced
post-impressionism (Picasso, Cezanne) to England in the years before World War I.

Between the Acts (17 July 1941)

Woolf's last novel, published after her death. She had changed her mind about publishing it
just days before her death (see letter to John Lehmann). Like Mrs. Dalloway, the action takes
place in a short span of time in June and is focused on a social event, here a community pageant
rather than a party. The setting is June 1939 in the English countryside at a house called Pointz
Hall (the working title of the book), home of the Olivers, and in the nearby village, where Miss
LaTrobe is in charge of the pageant. The pageant concerns English history, and parts of it are
part of the narrative.

A Writer’s Diary (UK 1953)

The public's first access to Woolf's diaries came in this heavily edited selection of diary
entries concerning writing or particular works Woolf was writing. The selections were prepared
by her husband, Leonard Woolf. The more complete 5-volume edition of Woolf's diaries was
published 1977-1984, edited by her nephew Quentin Bell's wife, Anne Olivier Bell. Six
volumes of Woolf's letters have also been published (ed. Nigel Nicolson and Joanne Trautmann,
1975-1980).
