pbobrit's review against another edition
4.0
I had been reading various sections of this whilst working on some writing, but as that comes to a close I thought I'd finish the book as a whole. I'm glad that i did because even as the Bloomsbury chapters of his life came to a close his life got no less interesting. The book is detailed but accessibly written. I spotted a couple of minor errors (paraphrasing sentences from his letters incorrectly in my opinion) in the earlier sections that I had to read closely. But this should not put you off, it was nothing serious and the author paints what I would consider a sympathetic and accurate picture Mr. Woolf.

An interesting read, but Glendinning is too much of an apologist for Woolf.
