ajitate's review against another edition
4.0
Maybe not as enjoyable as the diaries, and the earlier letters when she is younger can be a bit tedious (especially the luvy-duvie ones to Violet Dickinson, of which there are a LOT) but that's what you get when you have a full collection (it starts with her first effort at a letter when she was six!). This volume really hits its literary straps when she starts corresponding with Clive Bell. VW's company always enjoyable. Looking forward to volume two.

mtillstaff's review against another edition
4.0
The first half of this volume felt slow, mostly consisting of jocular letters to Woolf's (more than) friend Violet Davis. The second half picked up as her tone and subject matters matured as she began to correspond with Bloomsbury members such as Clive Bell, Lytton Strachey and her sister Vanessa. The second half also includes letters by Woolf discussing her burgeoning career as a book reviewer and work on her first novel.
