Virginia Woolf was fifty-four on January 25, 1936, some three weeks after this final volume of her diary opens. Its last page was written four days before she drowned herself on March 28, 1941.
The penultimate volume of Woolf's diaries captures her mature years during the writing of The Years, reflecting on personal losses, including Lytton Strachey and Dora Carrington. Praised for its vitality and wit, this edition is edited by Anne Olivier Bell with assistance from Andrew McNeillie.
The second volume covers a crucial period in Woolf's development as a writer. "Her sensibility, her sensitiveness, her humor, her drama... above all her catalytic gifts as a writer seem almost too much for one remarkable woman." Christian Science Monitor
