I started to read the Woolf diaries because of the recommendation of Ronald Blythe in his marvellous book, "The Pleasure of Diaries". I have read numerous diaries over the years but Woolf is one of, if not the, best. The first volume of Virginia Woolf's incisive, revealing and hugely readable diary with a fine introduction by her nephew Quentin Bell and well-judged editing by his wife Anne Olivier Bell. A joy to read but one is always aware of the lurking shadows that haunted Virginia. The period covered in this volume includes the launch of The Hogarth Press and the publication of her first and second novels. no reviews | add a review
