Critics Review
Brilliant and subtle essays
Brilliant and subtle essays * Independent on Sunday *It is all pure Woolf, so distinctive is her voice - ironic, cool, conversational and playful, shrewd and fantastical by turns * Literary Review *Woolf was easily the greatest literary journalist of her age – James Wood * Guardian *More like novels than ordinary criticism * New Statesman *Filled with comic spirit…there are some beautiful essays here…and many memorable ones – Peter Ackroyd * New York Times *Her essays are delightful in the way that serious play is delightful. She is enjoying herself, and reading her gives me that leaping sense of being in excellent company – Jeanette Winterson * The Times *
