What to expect

'It is strange how a scrap of poetry works in the mind and makes the legs move in time to it along the street.'
A beautifully curated collection of profoundly intimate and boundary-pushing writing, The Selected Short Stories of Virginia Woolf showcase some of the literary icon's work at its very best.
Both lyrical and impressionistic in style, Woolf's short stories, offer a candid insight into her characters' inner lives – their memories, thoughts and desires – cultivating a rich emotional framework from which her different protagonists evolve. With her trademark stream-of-consciousness narration, she provides poignant meditations on existence, reality and the passing of time in a unique blend of vivid imagery and philosophical reflection. Written across Woolf's prolific career, stories in this selection include 'The Mark on the Wall', 'A Haunted House' and 'The New Dress' amongst others. Sophisticated, nuanced and deeply moving in parts, The Selected Short Stories of Virginia Woolf highlight her unparalleled ability to bring meaning to the mundane. This audiobook edition is wonderfully read by Emma Gregory.
Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941) was one of the most significant novelists of the twentieth century. A modernist writer and progressive thinker, she is known for her stream of consciousness narrative style and influence on feminist criticism. Her works have been translated into over fifty languages and are widely read and adapted to this day.
