Sharp, intelligent, witty and irreverent, Woolf's criticism is second to none.
This is going to sound cheesy but. I feel so much love and respect for women of word right now. This is my first time reading Virginia Wolf, and reading her writing about intellectual women with sometimes amusement, but always witj respect and with fondness I guess, I absolutely loved it.
