Her most famous works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929), with its famous dictum, \"A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE WAVES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Waves, first published in 1931, is Virginia Woolf's most experimental novel. It consists of soliloquies spoken by the book's six characters: Bernard, Susan, Rhoda, Neville, Jinny, and Louis. Also important is Percival, the seventh character, though readers never hear him speak through his own voice. The monologues that span the characters' lives are broken up by nine brief third-person interludes detailing a coastal scene at varying stages in a day from sunrise to sunset.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarguerite Yourcenar translated The Waves into French over a 10-month period in 1937. Of Woolf whom she met at that time in Bloomsbury, Yourcenar had this to say: \"I do not believe I am committing an error, however, when I put Virginia Woolf among the four or five great virtuosos of the English language and among the rare contemporary novelists whose work stands some chance of lasting more than ten years.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 21st Century author and critic Becky Nordensten has described The Waves as a \"beautiful novel with language and imagery unmatched in 20th Century English literature.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCopyright Note: This Ebook Should Only Be Purchased By Readers Not in US","brand":"Modern Literary Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47164884451568,"sku":"2940013133693","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013133693_p0.jpg?v=1763576945","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013133693","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
