Virginia Woolf - Alexandra Harris
An accessible introduction to a writer whose work is of timeless significance and whose unconventional life is a continuous source of fascination. In 1907, when she was twenty-five and not yet a published novelist, Virginia Stephen had everything still to prove. She felt herself to be at a crossroads: ‘I shall be miserable, or happy; a wordy sentimental creature, or a writer of such English as shall one day burn the pages.’ Today her prose is still blazing; perhaps it burns brighter than ever.This is the story of how a determined young woman with a notebook became one of the greatest writers of all time. It is a story that sparkles with wit and friendship, language and love, wicked jokes and passionate appreciation of ordinary things. Hers was a life lived with intensity from moment to moment, courageous and defiant of convention, and shaped into the lasting patterns of art.Considering each of Woolf’s novels in context, this gripping account shows why, eighty years after her death, Virginia Woolf continues to haunt and inspire us.

An Analysis of Virginia Woolf
A Room of One s Own is a very clear example of how creative thinkers connect and present things in novel ways. Based on the text of a talk given by Virginia Woolf at an all-female Cambridge college, Room considers the subject of women and fiction. Woolfâ ™s approach is to ask why, in the early 20th century, literary history presented so few examples of canonically great women writers. The common prejudices of the time suggested this was caused by (and proof of) women s creative and intellectual inferiority to men. Woolf argued instead that it was to do with a very simple fact: across the centuries, male-dominated society had systematically prevented women from having the educational opportunities, private spaces and economic independence to produce great art. At a time when art was commonly considered to be a province of the mind that had no relation to economic circumstances, this was a novel proposal. More novel, though, was Woolf s manner of arguing and proving her contentions: through a fictional account of the limits placed on even the most privileged women in everyday existence. An impressive early example of cultural materialism, A Room of One s Own is an exemplary encapsulation of creative thinking.

Virginia Woolf
This chronological account takes you through the key events in the lives of Virginia and Leonard Woolf through a history of their home, Monk’s House in Sussex, where Virginia wrote most of her major novels. The story of this magical garden includes selected quotations from the writings of the Woolfs which reveal how important a role the garden played in their lives, as a source of both pleasure and inspiration. Bought by them in 1919 as a country retreat, Monk #39;s House was somewhere they came to read, write and work in the garden. Virginia wrote first in a converted tool shed, and later in her purpose-built wooden writing lodge tucked into a corner of the orchard. Enriched with rare archive images and embroidered garden plans, the book takes the reader on a journey through the various garden ‘rooms’, (including the Italian Garden, the Fishpond Garden, the Millstone Terrace and the Walled Garden), each presented in the context of the lives of the Woolfs, with fascinating glimpses into their daily routines at Rodmell.

The Camera at War - Hilary Roberts
It is said that the first casualty of war is truth. But in the arena of war photography, the truth is never simple.Drawing on an incredible range of imagery from the Imperial War Museum s vast collection and other major archives around the globe, expert curator Hilary Roberts presents a new perspective on the role of image manipulation in this field over the past 170 years,exploring the consequences for our understanding of historic and contemporary conflicts. From the staged scenes and hand-coloured Daguerreotypes of the Crimean War at the very beginning of conflict photography to the AI-generated protest and propaganda imagery of today, Roberts explores the myriad ways in which layers of meaning can be added, erased or changed completely. As The Camera at War so powerfully reveals, sometimes this has been done in order to present a closer approximation of the truth, and sometimes for the causes of national morale, subterfuge and control of the winning narrative.

The Waves - Virginia Woolfová
A formally innovative work of modernist fiction, Virginia Woolf s The Waves is edited with an introduction by Kate Flint in Penguin Modern Classics.More than any of Virginia Woolf s other novels, The Waves conveys the full complexity and richness of human experience. Tracing the lives of a group of friends, The Waves follows their development from childhood to youth and middle age. While social events, individual achievements and disappointments form its narrative, the novel is most remarkable for the rich poetic language that expresses the inner life of its characters: their aspirations, their triumphs and regrets, their awareness of unity and isolation. Separately and together, they query the relationship of past to present, and the meaning of life itself.Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is regarded as a major 20th century author and essayist, a key figure in literary history as a feminist and modernist, and the centre of The Bloomsbury Group . This informal collective of artists and writers, which included Lytton Strachey and Roger Fry, exerted a powerful influence over early twentieth-century British culture. Between 1925 and 1931 Virginia Woolf produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, from Mrs Dalloway (1925) to the poetic and highly experimental novel The Waves (1931). She also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism and biography, including the playfully subversive Orlando (1928) and A Room of One s Own (1929) a passionate feminist essay.If you enjoyed The Waves, you might like Woolf s Mrs Dalloway, also available in Penguin Classics.

Moments Of Being - Virginia Woolfová
Virginia Woolf s only autobiographical writing is to be found in this collection of five unpublished pieces. Despite Quentin Bell s comprehensive biography and numerous recent studies of her, the author s own account of her early life holds new fascination - for its unexpected detail, the strength of its emotion, and its clear-sighted judgement of Victorian values. In Reminiscences Virginia Woolf focuses on the death of her mother, the greatest disaster that could happen , and its effect on her father, the demanding patriarch who took a high toll of the women in his household. She surveys some of the same ground in A Sketch of the Past , the most important memoir in this collection, which she wrote with greater detachment and supreme command of her art shortly before her death. Readers will be struck by the extent to which she drew on these early experiences for her novels, as she tells how she exorcised the obsessive presence of her mother by writing To the Lighthouse. The last three papers were composed to be read to the Memoir Club, a postwar regrouping of Bloomsbury, which exacted absolute candour of its members. Virginia Woolf s contributions were not only bold but also original and amusing. She describes George Duckworth s passionate efforts to launch the Stephen girls; gives her own version of Old Bloomsbury ; and, with wit and some malice, reflects on her connections with titled society.

Feeling at Home - Alva Gotby
Our feelings about housing are political, and a grasp of them is essential to solving the housing crisis – from the author of They Call It LoveHousing is more than bricks and mortar. The home is where our hopes and dreams play out, and it lies at the heart of our lives. This is where we rest, eat, and relax. The home we enjoy can determine our health, life expectancy, and day-to-day well-being. In contrast, the lack of a stable residence can lead to mental and physical illness and often premature death. This is central to how we conceive of a good and dignified life.Feeling at Home grapples with the practical and emotional questions of housing – domestic labour, privacy, security, ownership, and health. Is it possible to imagine success without home ownership? Alva Gotby makes clear that solving the housing crisis is about much more than housing stock. It is about revolutionising our everyday lives and labours.

The etiquette of the invitation, the balance of guests at a weekend house party, their placement at dinners, and the entertainment of friends, as well as the domestic management required to execute the perfect occasion, have all preoccupied successive generations of châtelaines.This book tells the story four real life weekends - from 1866 to 1936 - when the great and the good gathered at Highclere to change the world in some large or small part. It then reflects on how the current Countess entertains At Home at Highclere today.Each weekend showcases the life of the house, both upstairs with the rich and famous and below stairs with the staff and employees. You are transported to a world where guests were collected from the long since defunct Highclere Station in carriages or later in the earliest cars having had the train stop specifically for them and where the allocation of the most prestigious bedrooms really did matter.It looks at what should be served for dinner, the hot topics of conversation and gossip, traditional breakfasts and shooting parties with the Prince of Wales. She explores how menus were, and still are now, put together with the chef, what were the de rigueur cocktails of the day (and why) - and how to make them at home wherever you are.Each chapter will explore some of the recipes and, where practical, have adaptations and photos of the recipes which can be cooked in today s kitchens. Many recipes are little-changed to this day and Lady Carnarvon shares her commentary on their context at Highclere. Highclere works hard to steer a steady course in today s world, but the Castle was built for entertainment and pleasure, for convivial weekends. I hope this book gives a glimpse inside a great house, with mouth-watering recipes, eye-catching photographs and fascinating stories about some of the remarkable people who have stayed here. - Lady Carnarvon

Make Yourself at Home - Chelsey Brown
Pull your antiques and heirlooms out of the attic, the basement, or storage boxes and let them lift your spirit every day.Make Yourself at Home is a guide to decorating with antiques and family heirlooms, not as mere objects but as storytellers, as vessels that breathe life into our living spaces. In Chelsey Brown’s newest book, we learn how to revive the lost art of creating homes that resonate with the lives they shelter, not by imitating the latest trends, but by embracing the unique stories of the people who dwell within.Embrace the family treasures, antiques, and vintage pieces that possess an undeniable charm to enhance and create character within any contemporary design. Picture a vintage gramophone displaying proudly amidst sleek, contemporary furniture, or an intricately embroidered quilt adorning a minimalist bedroom. The fusion of old and new creates a drool-worthy juxtaposition, infusing spaces with character and charm that just makes you feel “at home.”Heirlooms and antiques are our time capsules into the past, and pieces that visually and emotionally stand the test of time. Whether it’s your grandmother s diary, the silver pocket watch, or that thrifted armoire that didn’t even get passed down within your own family, these items bear witness to the lives (and loves) that came before us.In her conversational, chatty style, Chelsey Brown advocates resisting the temptation to discard these sentimental pieces and instead embracing the emotional ties and historical narratives they represent. By valuing and preserving heirlooms and antiques, we not only ensure that their stories endure, but we create homes that tell a story of those who live inside. We’re designing unique spaces where you feel something and don’t just look like every other home you see on social media.

In The Sportsman at Home, Stephen Harris welcomes us into his kitchen in Whitstable to discover his favourite ingredients, and show us how to apply the simple ethos of his iconic restaurant to home cooking. The Sportsman is nothing short of an institution. Now in its 25th year, Stephen Harris took over a rundown pub on the Kent coast in 1999 and turned something ordinary into something extraordinary with his pared-back style of cooking, earning (and retaining) a Michelin star, as well as being named the UK’s best restaurant multiple times. It’s a cult classic both adored by professionals from all over the world, and a truly beloved, unpretentious local.

With dishes such as Welsh rarebit, cream of tomato soup, pork chop with charred leeks and tart tatin with vanilla ice cream, Stephen reintroduces familiar favourites, made simpler, and much better.

By walking through each part of the house, he explains how each room s purpose has changed over time, the weapons they contain, and ultimately, how these things combine in murder.Delving into infamous as well as lesser-known true crime cases, this examination of the tragic, ordinary nature of murder is both a chilling read and a startling insight into the everyday impact of violence and how it can touch us all.

To the Lighthouse - Virginia Woolfová
Every summer, the Ramsays visit their summer home on the beautiful Isle of Skye, surrounded by the excitement and chatter of family and friends, mirroring Virginia Woolf’s own joyful holidays of her youth. But as time passes, and in its wake the First World War, the transience of life becomes ever more apparent through the vignette of the thoughts and observations of the novel’s disparate cast. A landmark of high modernism and the most autobiographical of Virginia Woolf’s novels, To the Lighthouse explores themes of loss, class structure and the question of perception, in a hauntingly beautiful memorial to the lost but not forgotten. Chosen by TIME magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present.
