A Luminous Halo presents a small collection of critical writings by a titanic figure in feminist literary history: the one and only Virginia Woolf (1882-1941). From "Modern Fiction" to "How Should One Read a Book," "The Mark on the Wall," and more, these works are essential for any [common] reader hoping to "explore the ideas and challenges that ignited Woolf's creative imagination-to dig into all the 'proper stuff' of life and art." Here they come together in one volume for the first time, selected and introduced by guest editor JoAnn Borri.
