Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A Fascinating Biographical Study Of The Suitors Who Wooed Virginia Woolf Or Became Her Intimate Friends While She Was Still Virginia StephenI Wish Everyone Didn'T Tell Me To Marry, Was Virginia Stephen'S Exasperated Protest At The End Of 1906. She Wanted Freedom And Time To Practise Her Craft As A Writer, But Since The Engagement Of Her Elder Sister Vanessa A Few Weeks Earlier, She Had Been Bombarded With Questions And Unsolicited Advice About Her Own Unmarried State. This Wellintentioned Matchmaking Would Continue For Another Five Years Until Her Marriage To Leonard Woolf In 1912. Beautiful, Witty, And Independent, Virginia Did Not Want For Admirers. The Intervening Period Was Crammed With Romances And Close Friendships With Men, Varying In Nature And Depth. There Were Prolonged But Illjudged Flirtations With The Classical Scholar Walter Headlam And Her Sister'S Husband Clive Bell, And Loving Friendships With The Groundbreaking Biographer Lytton Strachey And The Enigmatic Saxon Sydneyturner. There Was Straightforward Courtship Too, By The Future Cabinet Minister Hilton Young, By Henry Lamb'S Less Byronic Brother Walter, And By The Married Diplomat Sydney Waterlow. And A Romance That Never Was, With The Widelyadored Poet Rupert Brooke. Traces Of All The Suitors Would Eventually Appear In Woolf'S Work. Most Of These Relationships Have Been Relatively Neglected By Biographers, Although The Years In Which They Occurredbefore Leonard And Before The Novelswere Woolf'S Formative Years As A Writer And As A Woman. Using Original Research From Letters, Unpublished Writings, Interviews, And Personal Reminiscences, Sarah M. Hall Uncovers The Backgrounds, Characters, And Achievements Of The Suitorsall Notable Figures In Their Own Rightand Explores Their Importance To Virginia Woolf And To Her Books.
