Klappentext zu „A Haunted House “
'The window panes reflected apples, reflected roses; all the leaves were green in the glass'Nowhere are Virginia Woolf's daring experimentations with style and form more evident than in her short stories, which shimmer and flash with their author's peculiar genius. Collected by Leonard Woolf and published after her death, this is a complete collection of Virginia Woolf's shorter fiction. It is a fascinating and vivid introduction for readers new to Woolf, and a necessary companion for devotees.
Includes 'A Haunted House', 'Kew Gardens', 'A Mark on the Wall' and 42 other pieces.
Edited, with introductions and notes by Susan Dick.
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY HELEN SIMPSON

The volume offers us an invaluable insight into Virginia Woolf's development as a writer, vividly demonstrating her evolving characterisations, narrative methods and themes, often elaborated in her novels, to which this book serves both as a fascinating introduction for new readers and companion for old.
Pressezitat
Here is the precursor of the experiments which are to fill her future novels, where the writer will evaporate and condense solid objects over her literary Bunsen burner in solutions of time or light Helen Simpson, from her introduction
