1923Best.-Nr. 12536New York: Harcourt Brace and Company 1923. First American edition. 8vo publisher’s orange cloth with paper label on spine. 303 ads. A very nice copy of this scarce edition with minor staining to the cloth and wear to paper label. FIRST EDITION VIRGINIA WOOLF. THIS NOVEL EVOKING THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JACOB FLANDERS WAS RECOGNIZED AS A NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE ART OF FICTION. In its day it was both praised and attacked but has survived to secure Woolf’s reputation in 20th century literature. It is unusual in that the protagonist Jacob Flanders is presented almost entirely through the impressions other characters. The novel is a departure from Woolf’s earlier two novels ‘The Voyage Out’ and ‘Night and Day’ which are far more conventional in form. ‘Jacob’s Room is seen as an important modernist text; its experimental form is viewed as a progression of the innovative writing style Woolf presented in her earlier collection of short fiction titled ‘Monday or Tuesday’.

The edition is limited to four hundred numbered copies for sale. "Orlando" has an unrivaled place in the history of English fiction. The last and most light-hearted of Woolf's three major novels it was begun in 1927 at the peak of her career and published by Virginia and Leonard Woolf's Hogarth Press in 1928. "Orlando" is perhaps the most imaginative some would say fantastical creation of this legendarily individualistic writer taking its reader on a journey across four centuries with a hero who comes of age as a titled country gentleman in Elizabethan times and ends as a prize-winning woman author in the nineteen-twenties. Diana Michener is a photographer known for images that are powerfully suggestive of narrative. Her photographs offer a new visual experience for readers of Orlando using friends relatives and found portraits of unknowns as models and costumes objects and landscapes to suggest historic periods and the passage of time. The photographer herself appears in several images in various guises and disguises. The photographs are informed by the story or run parallel independent but indebted to it for inspiration. ___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
