Congenial Spirits: Selected Letters of Virginia Woolf - Softcover
Congenial Spirits brings together the finest and most enjoyable of Virginia Woolf's letters in a single volume. It is a marvellous collection - spontaneous, witty, often flirtatious and powerfully moving. Whether bemoaning some domestic travail, commenting publicly on the state of the nation, or taking up her pen, inspired, to discuss cultural, artistic or personal concerns, Virginia Woolf is one of the great correspondents. This volume displays not only Woolf's courage and brilliance, her generosity and love of gossip, but also her genius for close and enduring friendship.

Review:
"About her letters there can be no division: they are among the best ever written in the English language" (Selina Hastings Sunday Telegraph)
"Letters as well selected as these, and as brilliant (though Woolf herself saw them as 'mere tossing of omelettes') close the gap between the author and the private person" (Victoria Glendinning The Times)
"Her curiosity about people and words is passionate and unending" (Sylvia Clayton Guardian)
