A Handbook on Woolf's achievements as an innovative novelist and pioneering feminist theorist. It studies her life, her works, her relationships with other writers, her professional career, and themes in her work including among others feminism, sexuality, education, and class. '[I]ndispensable not only for anyone embarked on teaching or researching Woolf but also for those who might think they know the state of Woolf scholarship in the twenty-first century, for whom its extraordinary breadth will be enlightening this volume will become a landmark in the field it assesses and advances' Mark Hussey, Woolf Studies, Annual Reviews
