Penned during the aftermath of a nervous breakdown, On Being Ill is a groundbreaking essay that seeks to establish illness as a topic for discussion in literature. Delving into considerations of the loneliness and vulnerability experienced, as well as aspects of privilege, the essay resounds with an honesty and clarity that still rings true today.

Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) was a Modernist writer, widely considered to be one of the most important of the twentieth century. She and her husband Leonard bought a hand-printing press in 1917, and they set up Hogarth Press in their house in Richmond, which published much of Virginia’s work, as well as those of friends and fellow luminaries. She was a member of the Bloomsbury Set – an artistic, philosophic and literary group which included John Maynard Keynes, E.M. Forster and Lytton Strachey. Today she is best remembered for her novels – in particular To the Lighthouse and Mrs Dalloway – and her essay A Room of One’s Own.
