REPRINTS AND NEW EDITIONS
The Death of the Moth, and Other Essays. By Virginia Woolf. Penguin Books. 210 pp.
This book, first published 20 years ago, contains b number of essays of the same excellence that distinguished Virgina Woolf’s earlier works entitled “The Common Reader” and “The Second Common Reader.” It might almost be said to carry on where these earlier works left off. The essays it contains range over a wide field of literature, including in their sweep such authors as Edward Gibbon. Henry James, Jane Austen and E. M. Forster. In addition to these literary studies, it includes essays on such topics as literary craftsmanship, the art of biography and professions for women. It is a delightful miscellany to see once more in circulation.
