The Notting Hill Editions Classic Collection series brings together the great essayistsof the past, introduced by contemporary writers. Essays on the Self is a surprisingcollection spanning twenty-one years of Virginia Woolf s life, from the ages ofthirty-seven to fifty-eight, the year before her suicide. The question of the self iscentral, in some way, to every essay in this book. Whether she is discussing the rightsof women, the revolutions of modernity, social inequality, or the future of the novel, Woolf acknowledges that a writer s task is to find a unique self through which to viewthe world. The thirteen essays are introduced by the novelist Joanna Kavenna."
