Description

First edition, first printing and one of only 1,200 copies originally published by Virginia and her husband Leonard on their Hogarth Press. Bound in publisher's goldenrod cloth with title label to spine, lacking the scarce dust jacket. Very Good+ with slight lean to binding and boards slightly splayed. Darkening and indentation to spine with toning and light scuff to title label, minor soiling to cloth with a series of small indentations near front joint. Offsetting to endsheets, foxing to edges and light toning to contents. Woolf's experimental third novel centered around a collection of memories about protagonist Jacob Flanders.

About Jacob's Room

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.
