About this Item
First American edition. 8vo, publisher s orange cloth with paper label on spine. 303, ads. A very nice copy of this scarce edition with minor staining to the cloth and wear to paper label. FIRST EDITION VIRGINIA WOOLF. THIS NOVEL EVOKING THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JACOB FLANDERS WAS RECOGNIZED AS A NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE ART OF FICTION. In its day it was both praised and attacked, but has survived to secure Woolf s reputation in 20th century literature. It is unusual in that the protagonist, Jacob Flanders, is presented almost entirely through the impressions other characters. The novel is a departure from Woolf s earlier two novels, The Voyage Out and Night and Day , which are far more conventional in form. Jacob s Room is seen as an important modernist text; its experimental form is viewed as a progression of the innovative writing style Woolf presented in her earlier collection of short fiction titled Monday or Tuesday .
