About This Item
Night and Day (Uniform Edition) by Virginia Woolf
Hogarth Press, London, 1938. Printing history shows this to be the 'Third Edition' but this is effectively the second edition or impression of the Uniform Edition first published in 1930. Woolf's novel about love and marriage also examines questions raised by women's suffrage. Unmarked and in very good condition, without the jacket.
Synopsis
Katharine Hilbery is beautiful and privileged but uncertain of her future. She must choose between becoming engaged to the oddly prosaic poet William, and her dangerous attraction to the lower-class Ralph. As she struggles to decide, the lives of two other women - women's rights activist Mary Datchet and Katharine's mother, struggling to weave together the documents, events and memories of her father's life into a biography - impinge on hers with unexpected and intriguing consequences. Virginia Woolf's light, delicate second novel is both a love story and a social comedy, yet it also subtly undermines these traditions, questioning a woman's role and the very nature of experience.
