Book Reviews of The Diary of Virginia Woolf, Vol. 1: 1915-1919
Book Review: Absolutely fascinating
Summary: 5 Stars
Virginia Woolf diary 1 is a great read. Each and every volume of her diaries is interesting, educational, mysterious, genius, personal. VW lived an exciting, interesting life and thank-goodness she was very good at writing in her diary. You will get hooked on reading them and I recommend getting all five diaries. I read diary 5 first of course , since I know what happens in the end, then began with diary 1,then 2,3.4....and I shall read 5 again. (It is even better if you buy the books of letters to refer to alongside each volume) (even better, to also read the novels as they are 'being written then published by VW) The footnotes are wonderful, informative, and appreciated. Even tho they at times took up half a page, they were well worth it and were at times just as interesting as the diary on that page. You will immediately discover that she does not write her diary with the same prosey language with which she writes her books except for the entries where she is experimenting; so there is still plenty of beautiful imagery but mostly it feels as if she's speaking to the reader in everyday language/tone. The diaries would also be helpful to potential writers because she explains her process with each book; emotional states, inspirations, sights, sounds, re-writes, interruptions, time-lines, how she feels when books come out, how reviews affect her, how she gets her feelings hurt, humiliation, friendship, perseverance, and torture in the form of rest cures. Read all five volumes, you won't be sorry. Oh, and all of the other characters in the diaries are extraordinarily described and one begins to feel friendship with each and every one. I like Virginia. By the way, choose a favorite pen to underline with.
Summary of The Diary of Virginia Woolf, Vol. 1: 1915-1919
