DESCRIPTION:
"An astonishing editorial achievement." Times Literary Supplement
It covers a period of intense social change from the 1880s to the 1930s, making direct reference to suffrage, Irish Home Rule, the First World War, and anti-semitism. All variants from extant galley and page proofs, as well as editions of the novel produced in Woolf's lifetime, are included, and reveal the significant and crucial changes Woolf made even in the months before publication.. The Years is perhaps Virginia Woolf's most politically and historically embedded novel. The novel's composition history is unusually complex; the text changed radically from its inception in 1931 to its publication in 1937. This edition provides readers with a fully collated and annotated text. It includes a substantial introduction that charts the composition process, a detailed chronology, and full annotation of all historical, cultural and topographical references
A book we shouldn't miss amateco the story of a family which changed from one millenium to the other. the changes in uses, traditions, how life changes and while the person is immerse in that change the character and uses change. A vivid story plenty of feelings .The secret stories of each family is also reflected in this great work of Virginia Wolf. Who's In Love With Virginia Woolf? Samantha Lincoln Any Virginia Woolf lover would love this. It takes some time to read to really understand what is going on - especially if you aren't familiar with her writing style - but it is well worth it. Would not recommend this as a first read of Woolf's, but definitely for a developed fan that has not yet reached this point in her collection.. Amazon Customer said Lovely slow read. Take it as a slow read. Have the patience to breath with the lovely descriptions of nature and city surroundings, A bit old fashioned of course but beautiful. Akin to Proust, lovely and tongue in cheek. Very sharp observation of special characters.
