英文简介：The thrill that Virginia Woolf got from these short stories is readily apparent to the reader. She wrote them in defiance of convention, with a heady feeling of liberation and with a clear sense that she was breaking new ground. She thought some of her short fiction might be 'unprintable' but, happily, she was mistaken.

Indeed, if she had not made her bold and experimental forays into the short story in the period leading up to the publication of Jacob's Room, it seems certain that her arrival as a great modernist novelist would have been delayed.

Virginia Woolf is considered one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century. During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a central figure in the influential Bloomsbury Group of intellectuals.
