Description: Kew Gardens and Other Short Fiction by Virginia Woolf, Bryony Randall, David Bradshaw Essential to Virginia Woolfs development as a novelist, these short stories are among the most interesting and accomplished fictions she wrote. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The ponderous woman looked through the pattern of falling words at the flowers standing cool, firm, and upright in the earth, with a curious expression. . .So heavy the woman came to a standstill opposite the oval shaped flowerbed, and ceased even to pretend to listen to what the other woman was saying.Virginia Woolfs short fiction has long been acknowledged as the place where she tried out some of her more experimentaltechniques before adopting and adapting them for use in her novel-length works. While this is certainly true, it is also the case that these short pieces are now increasingly being recognized as important works of art intheir own right, rather than simply flights of experimental fancy awaiting their full actualization in the novel form. This new edition edited by Bryony Randall emphasises the startling variety in Woolfs experimentation during the most productive period of short fiction writing in Woolfs life, the late 1910s through to the end of the 1920s. It draws readers attention to the deep political engagements evident across the range of her work and on the recent burgeoning ofwork in modernist print culture to set out the importance of the material context of these works initial publication and reception.
