Women & Fiction: The Manuscript Versions of a Room of One's Own

After Virginia Woolf's death, most of the manuscript of "Women & Fiction" was given by Leonard Woolf to the Fitzwilliam Museum where, until its rediscovery by Prof. Rosenbaum, it lay virtually unknown for nearly 50 years. With its careful transcription, & the incorporation of shorter sections of the manuscript from the Monks House Papers, it is now possible to follow the intricacies of Woolf's creative process as she develops, through constant revision, the ideas & images that eventually evolved into this century's most influential work of feminist criticism & literary theory, "A Room of One's Own".
