Publisher Description
The short story is often viewed as an inferior relation to the novel, but it is an art in itself. To take a story and distill its essence into just a few pages is not an easy task. Many try and many fail. This series looks at short stories from a variety of accomplished writers.
In this volume we examine the short stories of Virginia Woolf, many of which include elements of modernism like experimental writing and stream of consciousness, of which she is considered a pioneer, and act as an enlightening introduction to her longer fiction. Included here are "A Haunted House," "A Society," "An Unwritten Novel," "Kew Gardens," "The Mark on the Wall," and others.
