The Diary of Virginia Woolf: Volume 3 (1925-30)

Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), Orlando (1928), A Room of One’s Own (1929) – the years covered by this volume of Virginia Woolf’s diary saw the publication of four of her most celebrated works, and the writing of The Waves. Her diary captures the accelerating pace of her life, and the creative friendships with other well-known writers and artists. At times exhilarated, at others fearful or depressed, the entries of these years are animated by Woolf’s sheer vitality as a writer.
