On 1 January 1915,Virginia Woolf set herself to write a day-by-day diary; interrupted after a few weeks by illness,
she began again in 1917,and from then until a few days before her death in 1941 habitually used the diary to record her activities,observations and preoccupations.The result is one of the great diaries,now available for the first time in a one-volume,abridged edition (originally a 5-volume set).
Virginia Woolf turned to her diary as to an intimate friend,to whom she could freely and spontaneously confide the thoughts and images uppermost in her mind.
Whether describing public events or the joys and trials of domestic life,
gossiping about her friends or wrestling with the difficulties of her art,Virginia Woolf writes with unfailing grace,courage and honesty,and a lively wit which makes her one of the most moving and entertaining diarists of this,or any,
century.
