Description
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.
‘A good essay must have this permanent quality about it; it must draw its curtain round us, but it must be a curtain that shuts us in not out’
In the first volume of her critical essays, Virginia Woolf discusses the greatest authors of the literary canon - Jane Austen, George Eliot, and Geoffrey Chaucer among others - with the everyday, ‘common reader’ in mind. With wit and insight, Woolf also revisits classic novels and examines scholarly subjects, from the Greek language to the Modern Essay, to the Brontë's Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights.
First published in 1925, The Common Reader is a stunning work from one of the most perceptive minds of the twentieth century, a collection which continues to nurture the joys of literature and reading to this day.
