Liberty: Vintage Minis by Virginia Woolf

4.0

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!
