THE LONDON SCENE. Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf, one of the most admired writers of the twentieth century, is equally honored today for her fiction and for her essays, which covered a wide range of subjects. Born in 1882, she died in 1941.

These five sparkling essays on those aspects of London that have changed little since Virginia Woolf wrote of them in the 1930s show Woolf at the top of her from, blending together in her own unique fashion solid information and imaginative flights of fancy, fact and poetry.

"London", she wrote, "is a city in the full tide and race of human life." It still is. The Docks, Oxford Street, the great men's houses within its confines -Keats', Carlyle's- its abbeys and cathedrals, the House of Commons, today reflect those same enduring qualities that Virginia Woolf observed so perceptively.
