I ought to be grateful to Richmond & Hogarth, and indeed, whether its my invincible optimism or not, I am grateful. Virginia Woolf



Although more commonly associated with Bloomsbury, Virginia and her husband Leonard Woolf lived in Richmond-upon-Thames for ten years from the time of the First World War (1914-1924). Refuting the common misconception that she disliked the town, this book explores her daily habits as well as her intimate thoughts while living at the pretty house she came to love Hogarth House. Drawing on information from her many letters and diaries, the editor reveals how Richmonds relaxed way of life came to influence the writer, from her experimentation as a novelist to her work with her husband and the Hogarth Press, from her relationships with her servants to her many famous visitors.

Arvustused

Lively, diverse and readable, this book captures beautifully Virginia Woolfs time in leafy Richmond, her mixed emotions over this exile from central London, and its influence on her life and work. This illuminating book is a valuable addition to literary history, and a must-read for every Virginia Woolf enthusiast Emma Woolf, writer, journalist, presenter and Virginia Woolfs great niece

Virginia Woolf in Richmond is a great book for Woolf scholars and for laypersons with a general interest in her life and work. Fullagar shows how the time she spent in Richmond and the events that took place in both her own life and the wider world during that time influenced Woolfs development as a writer and her personality in a more general sense. It is clear that Woolfs life and work (and hence the books that so many of us love) would have been very different if she had not lived there. Joseph Ludlow, NB Magazine

Richmond allowed for social interaction but without the rush and bustle of a fast-paced London. It was a tranquil life. Fullagar presents a well-written case for Woolfs love of Richmond. Although Woolf is permanently linked with Bloomsbury, she does have deep roots in Richmond. Goodreads review

Its a well-written and well-researched book about the time she lived in Richmond. I think its a must-read for any person who likes Virginia Woolf. Highly recommended. Goodreads review
