Virginia Woolf was born in London in 1882, the daughter of Sir Leslie Stephen, first editor of The Dictionary of National Biography, and of his second wife, Julia Stephen. Her sister was the painter Vanessa Bell. From 1915, when she published her first novel, The Voyage Out, Virginia Woolf maintained an astonishing output of fiction, literary criticism, essays, letters, diaries and biography. In 1912 she married Leonard Woolf, and in 1917 they founded The Hogarth Press. Virginia Woolf had a series of mental breakdowns in her childhood and early adulthood, and on 28 March 1941 she committed suicide.
Mitchell A. Leaska is the author of The Novels of Virginia Woolf: From Beginning to End, editor of The Virginia Woolf Reader, The Pargiters and Pointz Hall, and co-editor of The Letters of Vita Sackville-West to Virginia Woolf and Violet to Vita: The Letters of Violet Trefusis to Vita Sackville-West.
Hermione Lee grew up in London and was educated there and at Oxford. She taught at the Universities of Liverpool and York, and is now the first woman Goldsmiths’ Professor of English at the University of Oxford. She is well-known as a writer, reviewer and broadcaster. Her books include a critical study of the novels of Virginia Woolf, a book on the writing of Elizabeth Bowen and a critical biography of Willa Cather. Her biography Virginia Woolf received international acclaim, has been translated into French, German and Korean, and won the 1997 British Academy Rose Crawshay Award. In June 2003, she was made a CBE.
David Bradshaw is Hawthornden Fellow in English Literature at Worcester College, Oxford, and a specialist in late nineteenth and early twentieth-century literature. He has edited a number of key Modernist texts, including Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway and The Mark on the Wall and Other Short Fiction (both in the Oxford World’s Classics series). Carlyle’s House and Other Sketches was first published in 2003 by Hesperus Press Limited.
A Passionate Apprentice comprises the first years of Virginia Woolf’s Journal – from 1879 to 1909. Beginning in early January, when Woolf was almost fifteen, the pages open at a time when she was slowly recovering from a period of madness following her mother’s death in May 1895. Between this January and the autumn of 1904, Woolf would suffer the deaths of her half-sister and of her father, and survive a summer of madness and suicidal depression. Behind the loss and confusion, however, and always near the surface of her writing is a constructive force at work – a powerful impulse towards health. It was an urge, through writing, to bring order and continuity out of chaos. Putting things into words and giving them deliberate expression had the effect of restoring reality to much that might otherwise have remained insubstantial. This early chronicle represents the beginning of the future Virginia Woolf’s apprenticeship as a novelist. These pages show that rare instance when a writer of great importance leaves behind not only the actual documents of an apprenticeship, but also a biographical record of that momentous period as well. In Woolf’s words, ‘Here is a volume of fairly acute life (the first really lived year of my life).’
