This carefully crafted ebook: "The Art of Fiction" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Adeline Virginia Woolf (25 January 1882 – 28 March 1941) was an English writer, and one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century. During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a central figure in the influential Bloomsbury Group of intellectuals. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929), with its famous dictum, "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." This eBook contains 13 essays on The Art of Fiction by Virginia Woolf: The Narrow Bridge of Art. Hours in a Library. Impassioned Prose. Life and the Novelist. On Rereading Meredith. The Anatomy of Fiction. Gothic Romance. The Supernatural in Fiction. Henry James's Ghost Stories. A Terribly Sensitive Mind. Women and Fiction. An Essay in Criticism. Phases of Fiction.
