Description: This first American edition of Between the Acts by Virginia Woolf, published in 1941, is a literary treasure. As Woolf’s final novel, completed shortly before her death, it showcases her unparalleled mastery of language, structure, and social commentary. Set in the English countryside at the fictional Pointz Hall estate, the story takes place during a summer’s day as the local villagers gather for their annual pageant. Against this seemingly idyllic backdrop, Woolf explores themes of community, art, and the looming shadow of World War II. The interplay between the performers and the audience creates a rich tapestry of humor, introspection, and poignant reflection on the human condition. This hardcover edition retains its original dust jacket, a rarity that adds to its collectible value. Published by Harcourt, Brace & Co., it marks the American debut of Woolf’s swan song. A must-have for collectors of modernist literature or fans of Woolf’s groundbreaking work, this edition is both a historical artifact and a timeless piece of literary brilliance. Don’t miss your opportunity to own this significant work from one of the 20th century’s greatest authors.
