About this product

Product Information

Published years after her death, Moments of Being is Virginia Woolf's only autobiographical writing, considered by many to be her most important book. A collection of five memoir pieces written for different audiences spanning almost four decades, Moments of Being reveals the remarkable unity of Virginia Woolf's art, thought, and sensibility. "Reminiscences," written during her apprenticeship period, exposes the childhood shared by Woolf and her sister, Vanessa, while "A sketch of the Past" illuminates the relationship with her father, Leslie Stephens, who played a crucial role in her development as an individual a writer. Of the final three pieces, composed for the Memoir Club, which required absolute candor of its members, two show Woolf at the threshold of artistic maturity and one shows a confident writer poking fun at her own foibles.

  • Originally published in 1976 English Paperback Edition

    "Moments of Being: Unpublished Autobiographical Writings" is an edited text with an introduction by the editor, Jeanne Schulkind. Like so many other of Virginia Woolf's unearthed works that have been retrieved, we have her nephew, Quentin Bell, to thank for this collection. Here are what unpublished autobiographical writings were found and published in 1976: "Reminiscences" "A Sketch of the Past" "The Memoir Club Contributions": "22 Hyde Park Gate," "Old Bloomsbury," & "Am I a Snob." Included with this remarkable collection are the Editor's note and introduction, an appendix & an index. This is a marvelous set of essays to read which reveal quite a bit about Virginia Woolf's keeness of insight to her surroundings~
