Publication Details: Duckworth, 1919

Notes: A tired copy, but with an excellent dual-association to the Bloomsbury Group. This copy of Woolf's second novel originally belonged to Saxon Sydney-Turner, a civil servant who had been at Trinity College, Cambridge with Leonard Woolf, Lytton Strachey, and Clive Bell; the subsequent owner, Barbara Bagenal (née Hiles), was an artist, a friend of Carrington from the Slade, with whom she entered the circle of that older generation - beginning a long relationship, in greater part platonic, with Saxon Sydney-Turner.The printed dedication is to her sister, Vanessa Bell....moreA tired copy, but with an excellent dual-association to the Bloomsbury Group.
