Full Description
The Norton Library edition of A Room of One's Own features Virginia Woolf's original 1929 text. Dora Zhang crafts a thoughtful introduction and targeted notes that highlight the continued prevalence of the piece's themes today and provide a solid foundation for readers to engage with Woolf's rich, complex, and at times contradictory writing style.
The Norton Library is a growing collection of high-quality texts and translations—influential works of literature and philosophy—introduced and edited by leading scholars. Norton Library editions prepare readers for their first encounter with the works that they'll re-read over a lifetime.
