Easy 5/5! An exquisite collection which features an extract from 'A Room of One's Own'; an extract from Woolf's highly experimental novel 'The Waves' and two of Virginia Woolf's essays entitled 'Street Haunting: A London Adventure' and 'How Should One Read a Book?'. The name for the collection is apt since it deals with different approaches to the theme of Liberty - especially in 'A Room of One's Own', Woolf's feminist tract and 'Street Haunting', which starts from the mere mentioning of a pencil - a pencil which takes the reader on a mystifying journey across the streets of London. The extracts also deal with the reader's freedom to multiple interpretations - not being solely limited to one perspective. Woolf emphasises the fact that the reader should find his own method of reading and his own critical voice. Simply amazing!

Such a beautiful little collection. Great as an introduction to Virginia Woolf, or as a small collection to reminisce about novels already read.

Great intro into some of Woolf’s writing, though I feel like The Waves excerpt was much harder to get into than her essays here.

Thank you to the publisher (Vintage) for sending me my copy.
