Book Overview

Presented in the form of an epistolary essay, Virginia Woolf offers her reflections on the art of poetry, sharing her thoughts on its purpose, its challenges, and its place in modern literature.

First published in 1932, A Letter to a Young Poet is Woolf's insightful and thought-provoking response to a request from writer John Lehmann for her views on contemporary poetry. This essay provides a rare glimpse into the mind of one of England's most celebrated writers, making it an essential read for fans of Woolf's work and for anyone interested in the craft of writing.

This edition also includes Woolf's essay Craftsmanship, a 1937 BBC broadcast in which she explores the intricacies of language and the writer's role in shaping it. Together, these essays highlight Woolf's profound understanding of the written word and her innovative approach to literary expression. Republished by Read & Co. Great Essays, this brand-new edition brings together these two significant essays, offering readers a deeper appreciation of Woolf's literary legacy and her enduring impact on the world of letters.

About Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), one of the great twentieth-century authors, was at the center of the Bloomsbury Group and is a major figure in the history of literary feminism and modernism. She published her first novel, The Voyage Out, in 1915, and between 1925 and 1931 produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, including Mrs. Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and The Waves (1931). She also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism, and biography, including the playfully subversive Orlando (1928) and the passionate feminist essay A Room of One's Own (1929).
