‎New York: Harcourt Brace & Company 1958. First American Edition Stated . Hard Back. Very Good/Very Good. 5 1/2" x 8. Bell Vanessa - Jacket Design. 239 Pages. Blue cloth with silver lettering to spine and silver decoration to front board. Very minor and barely noticeable wear to the pointed corners. Very tight book with no marks or stamps.Interior text is faultless. Dust jacket a Vanessa Bell creation is light blue with unclipped price $3.75. No creases or tears to jacket but there is some evidence of age-tanning to edges and spine area. The publication of Granite and Rainbow brings to light twenty-seven of her essays on the art of fiction and the art of biography. Among them are some of her most eloquent and incisive pieces. Here we read her concept of what the novel of the future could be of the function of criticism of the role of the novelist involved in and yet detached from life. She gives a remarkably astute portrait of the early Hemingway critical estimates of George Meredith Henry James Lawrence Sterne Horace Walpole Walt Whitman Oliver Wendell Holmes and many others. Virginia Woolf said that the art of biography fuses the hard and solid granite of truth with the elusive beauty of a rainbow. This demand for precision and imagination was in all her own work as it is in this book. Virginia Woolf author of novels biographies literary criticism and essays died in England in I94I. Many of the essays in this new book were published anonymously in British and American journals and have only recently 1958 been discovered. -- From Editorial Note by Leonard Woolf.

Original yellow cloth with printed spine label somewhat soiled with spine toned and head of spine rubbed with two closed tears. First edition one of 1200 printed. 290; 14 ads pp. 1 vols. 8vo. First edition of Woolf's breakthrough third novel about the life of Jacob Flanders and his death in the First World War. The work was "recognized in its stunningly mischievous ellipses and its often absent protagonist as a new development in the art of fiction; it was hailed by friends such as T.S. Eliot 'you have freed yourself from any compromise between the traditional novel and your original gift' and attacked by for example John Middleton Murry for its lack of plot . From this time onwards Woolf was regarded as one of the principal exponents of modernism" Oxford Companion to English Literature. Kirkpatrick A6a; Woolmer 26 The Hogarth Press unknown‎
