Books

A first edition, first printing published by The Hogarth Press in 1922. The book is very good and has a little light soiling to the top edge, some modest spotting to the page edges, with some light pushing to the spine ends. There is a small chip to the edge of the spine. Paper label a little patchy but titles are visible. Woolf's third novel, which describes Jacob Flanders' life story from childhood through his adulthood until his death in World War I. Only one of 1500 copies printed.

Jacob's Room is Virginia Woolf's first novel to employ her distinct stream-of-consciousness narrative style. The story revolves around the life of Jacob Flanders and reflects on themes such as the effects of World War I on English society, the passage of time, and the challenges of understanding an individual's subjective experience.
