The text was revised by Woolf for this the first American edition. A few scattered spots to the upper board some stray pale inkblots on first free end sheet whose corner was previously turned down tiny dot of lavender ink near fore-tip of page 9 else a very good square copy of Woolf's first novel without the dust jacket. First American edition. First appearance of Clarissa Dalloway Mrs. Dalloway. The first UK edition was published by Duckworth & Co. the publishing house headed by her half brother Gerald Duckworth in 1915. Duckworth did very little to support this book or their later publication in 1919 of Night and Day which prompted her and Leonard to purchase the rights to the two books. "George H. Dorn Company of New York published the American editions of both titles in 1920. Apparently Woolf had offers from two American publishers Doran and Macmillan according to her 26 November 1919 letter to Lytton Strachey. She revised the text of her novels for an American audience: 'I have to send the books off on Monday & they say the more alterations the better-because of copyright. I've glanced between the boards and see that the whole thing must be rewritten from the beginning - and only 2 days to do it in!' According to the International Copyright Act passed by Congress in 1891 American issues of British books had to be typeset and printed in the United States; American publishers could not print from British plates. Consequently there are variations between the British and American editions of Virginia Woolf's publications" Cooper 2014. KIRKPATRICK & CLARKE A1b. George H. Doran Company unknown

1927réf. 32156AB1927. First Edition. London Published by Leonard & Virginia Woolf at The Hogarth Press 1927. Quarto 20 cm wide x 25.5 cm high. 88 pages text plus XL plates with art / paintings of Cézanne. Original illustrated Hardcover. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear to the beautifully firm binding. Paul Cézanne Occitan: Pau Cesana; 19 January 1839 22 October 1906 was a French Post-Impressionist painter whose work introduced new modes of representation influenced avant-garde artistic movements of the early 20th century and formed the bridge between late 19th-century Impressionism and early 20th-century Cubism. While his early works were influenced by Romanticismsuch as the murals in the Jas de Bouffan country houseand Realism Cézanne arrived at a new pictorial language through intense examination of Impressionist forms of expression. He altered conventional approaches to perspective and broke established rules of academic art by emphasizing the underlying structure of objects in a composition and the formal qualities of art. Cézanne strived for a renewal of traditional design methods on the basis of the impressionistic colour space and colour modulation principles. Cézanne's often repetitive exploratory brushstrokes are highly characteristic and clearly recognizable. He used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields. The paintings convey Cézanne's intense study of his subjects. His painting initially provoked incomprehension and ridicule in contemporary art criticism. Until the late 1890s it was mainly fellow artists such as Camille Pissarro and the art dealer and gallery owner Ambroise Vollard who discovered Cézanne's work and were among the first to buy his paintings. In 1895 Vollard opened the first solo exhibition in his Paris gallery which led to a broader examination of Cézanne's work. Both Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso are said to have remarked that Cézanne "is the father of us all". Wikipedia hardcover

First appearance of this essay "Aurora Leigh" 677-690 pp. In short Woolf writing as a Modernist in criticism of the work of Victorian writers begins by discussing the irony of how the Brownings Robert and Elizabeth Barrett are better known for their personal lives than their literary works. She notes that many people are familiar with their romantic story but have never read their poetry. She then moves on to critique the works of the Brownings. Woolf suggests that Robert Browning's work has lost its vigor and significance and his style is considered verbose. As for Elizabeth Barrett Browning Woolf states that her work is largely unread and unexamined with her style being seen as slipshod and her mind as confused and excessive. Woolf then focuses on "Aurora Leigh" describing it as a masterpiece in embryo. She suggests that the novel-poem's genius is still in a prenatal stage waiting for the final stroke of creative power to bring it into being. She also discusses the character Aurora's struggle with the expectations of her society. "If therefore we take 'Aurora Leigh' from the shelf and open it it is not so much in order to read it as to muse with kindly condescension over this token of bygone fashion: it is not a book but a dusty mantle with fringes and furbelows that our grandmothers actually wore; a cluster of wax fruit that they stood in a glass case on the drawing-room table among albums views of Jerusalem and handsome models of the Taj Mahal carved in alabaster." 678-679 p.

Her influential essays "On Not Knowing Greek" and "Modern Fiction" are included and an additional essay "Lives of the Obscure III Miss Ormerod" appears in this edition but not in the English editions; it was first published in the Dial New York December 1924.
