Details
Description
First edition, first printing of Virginia Woolf’s To The Lighthouse.
- Virginia Woolf (English).
- London: The Hogarth Press, 1927.
- Bound in blue cloth, with dust jacket.
There is a review slip loosely slipped inside, on footed ‘The Hogarth Press’ paper, outlining the date of publication (May 7th) and the price (7/6) in what may be Leonard Woolf’s own hand, though this is not certain – the slip is now encased in a protective plastic covering to preserve.
Upon completing the draft of this, her most autobiographical novel, Woolf described it as ‘easily the best of my books’ and her husband Leonard thought it a “‘masterpiece’… entirely new ‘a psychological poem'”. They published it together at their Hogarth Press in London in 1927. The first impression comprised 3000 copies. The book outsold all Woolf’s previous novels, and the proceeds enabled the Woolfs to buy a car.
