Description

‘Virginia Woolf stands as the chief figure of modernism in England and must be included with Joyce and Proust in the realization of experimental achievements that have completely broken with tradition’ New York TimesVirginia Woolf’s last novel was published shortly after her death in March 1941. Showing a richness of invention, and the author’s clear enjoyment in the writing of it, Between the Acts is also one of her most lyrical works.This definitive edition contains the original text that she was still working on when she died. The story takes place at Pointz Hall, the country home of the Oliver family for 120 years, and revolves around the village pageant which aspires to present the entire history of England.
