Sachbuch
This is Virginia Woolf's first collection of essays, published in 1925. In them, she attempts to see literature from the point of view of the ‘common reader' - someone whom she, with Dr Johnson, distinguished from the critic and the scholar. She read, and wrote, as an outsider: a woman set to school in her father's library, denied the educational privileges of her male siblings - and with no fixed view of what constitutes ‘English literature'. What she produced is an eccentric and unofficial literary and social history from the 14th to the 20th centuries, with an excursion to ancient Greece thrown in.
