520 _a"Virginia Woolf is the greatest of all British women writers and one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century writing. Julia Briggs' aim in this book is to put the writing back absolutely at the centre of Woolf's life; to read that life through her books, using the novels themselves to create a compelling new form of biography. Using Woolf's own matchless commentary on the creative process through her letters, diaries and essays, Julia Briggs has produced a book which is a picture of an artist at full stretch but also a meditation on the whole nature of creativity."--BOOK JACKET.
