1937Best.-Nr. 157051937. Bell Vanessa. a "colonial cloth" copy London: Published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf at the Hogarth Press 1937. Original jade-green cloth with dust jacket. First Edition of one of Virginia Woolf's longest novels -- and one of the last to be published before her death by suicide. To quote from the dust jacket: Its theme is the passing of the last fifty years seen through the everyday life of separate individuals. The theme is presented in the concrete details of their daily life and the impact upon individuals of all the forces that mould society from fear and love to war and politics. The paths of all these people begin in the 'eighties of the last century diverge and cross and diverge again through the years and finally meet once more at the end of the book in the present day. The volume is in very good-plus condition slightly askew moderate discoloration of the cloth and so is the dust jacket some wear at the extremities notably at the ends of the front joint. But the jacket is notable in that the words "COLONIAL CLOTH" are printed above the author's first name on the front panel in the same color brown as is used with black in the jacket design. The book itself appears to be a standard first edition as does the jacket other than those two words; we have never seen this jacket before. Kirkpatrick A22a making no mention of a colonial issue nor of this jacket. unknown

Traduit de l'Anglais et Preface par Elisabeth Janvier Paris: Editions des Femmes 1981 octavo illustrated softcover signed by cast members of New York University Playhouse performance on the 20th of October 1981. Freshwater a Comedy New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich 1976 stated first American edition octavo illustrated by Edward Gorey bound in publisher's cloth with dust jacket; and a softcover reprint with Gorey's illustrations from 1985. In 1982 French director Simone Benmussa organized a production of Virginia Woolf's 1935 play for her centenary celebration at the Pompidou Center in Paris. The performance featured renowned French authors and artists and garnered widespread critical and public acclaim. The following year the production moved to New York's University Playhouse for two performances. "Virginia Woolf would've loved NYU's 'Freshwater.' Queen Victoria floating onstage on a jaunty white rocking horse is played by a distinguished male French sociologist wearing a wig and layers of black lace. A porpoise dressed in tie and tails obligingly swallows the wedding ring of a young actress who decides to leave her husband. The English poet Alfred Tennyson adoringly reads his own works in French to anyone who will listen. He is wearing a long Santa Claus beard and is played by - believe it or not - one of the founders of the theater of the absurd himself Eugene Ionesco. All the jovial incongruous absurdity that went into the New York University production of ''Freshwater'' two nights only Oct. 20 and 21 would have undoubtedly delighted its author Virginia Woolf. The very fact of the production itself would probably have surprised her even more. The production will be offered in Paris on Nov. 7." Quoted from Kristin Helmore and Grace D. Polk's review in the Christian Science Monitor November 1 1983. Harcourt Brace hardcover books
