Items related to Recollections of Virginia Woolf: By Her Contemporaries
Virginia Woolf is regarded as one of England's greatest novelists, yet while her work has been endlessly studied she remains a somewhat elusive personality and the source of continuing myth.
Including reminiscences from such luminaries as T.S. Elliot, E.M. Forster, Christopher Isherwood, Vita Sackville-West, Duncan Grant, Stephen Spender and Rebecca West, these enthralling recollections from the people who knew her intimately capture the lesser-known aspects of Virginia Woolf's nature: her rapport with children, her habit of plying people with questions, the stress she caused herself by her creative writing. Many of the pieces had never been published before this book first appeared, while others were written especially for Joan Russell Noble's fascinating and moving collection. What emerges from the Recollections of Virginia Woolf is a composite portrait of a widely admired and misunderstood writer and woman.

Review:
An enthralling book. . To read this book is to get to know a wonderful human being who was also a most gifted writer.' --Cyril Connolly, Sunday Times
The tantalisingly brief, strongly personal recollections of a fascinating bunch of characters tell us far more than any other biography. --Daily Mail
Between the Leonard Woolf memoirs and the biography of Woolf by Quentin Bell, it should take a minor but nonetheless fascinating and permanent place. --Paul Scott, Country Life

What emerges from the 'Recollections of Virginia Woolf' is a composite portrait of a widely admired and misunderstood writer and woman. This is the first paperback edition of a classic Virginia Woolf study, essential to the understanding of perhaps the greatest of Britain's female writers. Recollections, anecdotes and first-hand impressions including pieces from some of the leading lights of the Bloomsbury Group are all included in a perceptive and profound volume.
