- Comments: Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Minor shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages. <br> Melymbrosia is as covertly and as fiercely seditious as many of Jane Austen's novels. No matter how accomplished and risk-taking this first novel was, Woolf continually expressed fears about publishing it, about having it seen, exposed, and criticized. To her sister Vanessa Bell, she wrote that she hid her manuscript whenever anyone entered a room and she wondered if she would ever dare print it." - Louise DeSal

AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"[B]y anyone but a publisher, MELYMBROSIA would be considered not a free-standing novel but a draft of THE VOYAGE OUT....DeSalvo deserves credit for trying to bridge the gap between scholarship and life by showing how academic diligence may turn up kinds of biographical evidence that had previous been ignored. But...her inferences about Woolf's life have become less and less nuanced over the years, and the flat assertion, here, that Woolf was an incest survivor...does little to explain or illuminate MELYMBROSIA."Woolf, Virginia is the author of 'Melymbrosia', published 2002 under ISBN 9781573441483 and ISBN 1573441481.
