<div>"A Room of One's own", edited by David Bradshaw and me, was published on 24
January 2015. The first in the series, “To the Lighthouse”, appeared in
December 1992. So, after 22 years, “A Room” completes the Shakespeare Head
Press Edition of Virginia Woolf.</div>

<div>Here’s the blurb:</div>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt"><font face="Verdana"><font color="#000000"><span><font style="FONT-SIZE:10pt">‘Widely acknowledged as a pioneering text of the women’s
movement, <i>A Room of One’s Own</i> is one of Virginia Woolf’s most influential
works. Couched </font></span><font style="FONT-SIZE:10pt"><span>as an</span><span>
entertaining fiction, this book-length essay investigates </span><span>the patriarchal realities of </span><span>its time</span><span>, </span><span>the
long</span><span> history of discrimination
against women and the stifling effect of such prejudice on women’s creativity.
The prescient concluding words of the dust</span><span>-</span><span>jacket of the first British edition (which in all
probability were written by the author herself) state</span><span>d </span><span>that: “<i>an attempt is made ... to forecast what
effect comparative freedom and independence will have upon women’s artistic work
in the future.”</i> </span><span>These words
remain no less relevant today.</span></font><span><font style="FONT-SIZE:10pt">

in her own canon, this timely and important new edition of Virginia Woolf’s <i>A
Room of One’s Own</i> adopts the complete text of the first British edition
published in London on October 24, 1929. Additional features include a
comprehensive introduction detailing the process and composition of Woolf’s
original essay and the evolution of its subsequent publication history.
Extensive explanatory notes add further illumination by revealing the essay’s
broader political, historical, social, and literary contexts. A comprehensive
appendix also highlights variations between each of the British editions that
appeared in Woolf’s lifetime and the first American edition, </span><span>as well as</span></font><span><font style="FONT-SIZE:10pt"> alterations made
in the first British edition from Woolf’s uncorrected proofs, and current
