Product Description

Product Description

This prestigious new edition of the most controversial of Woolf's works includes an illuminating introduction and full annotations by the editor.


From the Back Cover

The highly controversial Three Guineas was Virginia Woolf's most explicit statement of her feminism. Forming part of the prestigious Shakespeare Head Press series of Woolf's works, this authoritative new edition includes her carefully considered selection of photographs, her discursive endnotes and extensive new annotations of her references and allusions.

In an illuminating introduction, editor Naomi Black guides the reader through this allusive, highly artful book, discussing its structure and argument and tracing the history of its composition and critical reception. She analyses the text as a representation of Woolf's feminism, including the way in which the book's form subverts male conventions of scholarship. All variants and emendations are listed, but the text itself is free of interventions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Women against war, Jul 18 2000
By Ruth (Melbourne) - See all my reviews
I gave this book 5 stars, not because I really liked it, but because it's interesting. Three Guineas is VW second book that is an argument and not fiction (the first is a room of one's own). It's about how women can help prevent war, and it says a lot of stuff, one of the things being to link male vanity to aggression. It's controversial, and a lot less pleasant than a room of one's own. It's weird in retrospect, too, because her argument stands in another time - before the second world war - and we've all changed since the holocaust etc. It says a lot about feminism, too, and women entering the professions and getting an education. Like I say, it's more aggressive than ARoOO, and this makes her less likeable. Whether or not you like it, though, or agree with what she says, it's an argument that should be out there. It's something that should be said.
