A review by valariesmith
The Common Reader by Virginia Woolf

3.0

Heresy for a Woolfian, I know, but the subjects of many of the essays (Elizabethan dramas, Defoe, Chaucer) weren't of interest to me. I really loved "Modern Fiction" and the essays on Austen, the Brontes, Eliot, Montaigne and the Russians, though.
