Reviews'It is encouraging to see so many new approaches to study a writer who has already attracted entire shelves of critical commentary... Virginia Woolf and the World of Books will be valuable not only to Woolf specialists, but also to the growing number of modernist scholars who study publishing enterprises and material culture.'
