Moment, and Other Essays

"It has often been remarked of Virginia Woolf that she was a commentator on literature rather than a critic, more an antiquarian than a literary analyst. Now, as we read not only the old essays with which we are already familiar, but also the majority of the new ones in 'The Moment', this judgment is firmly supported. There is no question but that Mrs. Woolf is at her best, and that her best is superlative of its kind, when she was dealing of little-known figures of the past whom she could re-create out of scraps of letter and journal, out of the remembered morsel of talk here and a flash of scene there, rather than when she attempted to take the full meaning of the work of an established author."Woolf, Virginia is the author of 'Moment, and Other Essays', published 1974 under ISBN 9780156619004 and ISBN 0156619008.
