About This Item
London: Duckworth, 1920. Second Impression. Hardcover. Second Impression. Hardcover. Woolf, Virginia. NIGHT AND DAY. London: Duckworth, 1920. A near fine or better example of the much more elaborate second impression: one of 1000 copies issued in the Covent Garden Library. 8vo., pp [iv], 538. Two pages of advertisements for The Voyage Out at rear. Dark blue cloth with bright gilt decoration to the spine. By the time the Hogarth Press [February, 1929] received the transfer of the balance of the sheets [about 465 copies] & molds from Duckworth only 566 copies of this second impression had been sold - Kirkpatrick A4. A very nice example [one tiny mended closed tear at the spine crown] - Quite uncommon.
Synopsis
Katharine Hilbery is beautiful and privileged but uncertain of her future. She must choose between becoming engaged to the oddly prosaic poet William, and her dangerous attraction to the lower-class Ralph. As she struggles to decide, the lives of two other women - women's rights activist Mary Datchet and Katharine's mother, struggling to weave together the documents, events and memories of her father's life into a biography - impinge on hers with unexpected and intriguing consequences. Virginia Woolf's light, delicate second novel is both a love story and a social comedy, yet it also subtly undermines these traditions, questioning a woman's role and the very nature of experience.
