A very good copy of this scarce 1929 First Impression and trade issue published by Paul and Virginia Woolf at the Hogarth Press, London. Virginia Woolf went to the University of Cambridge in 1928 and gave lectures at two Women's colleges - Girton and Newnham. These lectures would give birth to her now classic feminist essay, "A Room of One's Own." One of just 3,040 copies lacking the scarce dust jacket. Octavo (7 1/8" x 4 3/4"); 172 pages - Publishers' salmon cloth-covered boards, with titles stamped in gilt on spine. Light edgewear with corners bumped and softening to the spine tips. Some spotting to the cloth and several small stains to the front boards. The interior is in very nice condition with the usual offsetting to the front and rear flyleaves, several small stains on the front pastedown and the Ex-Libris label of "Helen Elizabeth Crosby" affixed to the front flyleaf. Overall, a very good copy of this 1929 first edition that is now considered a key work of feminist literary criticism.
