Lot Description

WOOLF, Virginia (1882-1941). The Years. London: Hogarth Press, 1937.

8vo. Half-title. Original green cloth, spine gilt-lettered (some soiling to spine, a touch of light wear to extremities, tiny hole to top joint); original cream dust jacket printed in black and brown designed by Vanessa Bell (separations along most folds, tear crossing Woolf's name repaired verso, horizontal gouge to front panel, some chipping, small hole to top joint, spine panel browned).

FIRST EDITION of Woolf’s best-selling novel which traces the life of the Pargiter family from 1880 to “present day.” Woolf originally intended the novel to be a sequel to A Room of One’s Own and planned to alternate nonfiction essays with the family’s story. She ultimately excluded the nonfiction and changed the working title from “The Pargiters” to The Years. Kirkpatrick A22a.
