Virginia Woolf through the eyes of her nephew, Quentin Bell. His Virginia Woolf biographies were first published in 1972 and won a few different awards: James Tait Black Memorial Prize, Duff Cooper Prize and the Yorkshire Post Book of the Year Award. These books are full of insightful information but also many family photo which I had never come across before. . . . . . #quentinbell #virginiawoolf #vwoolf #bloomsburyset #bloomsburygroup #hogarthpress #biography #MrsDalloway #ToTheLighthouse #ARoomOfOnesOwn #booksandsocks #socksunday #stancemuse @stancemuse #theuncommonthread #sockswag @fbombtrading

Leonard Woolf, Virginia Woolf’s husband, at the introduction to A Writer’s Diary, Woolf’s collected journal entries.

“The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages.” ― Virginia Woolf

I got a great a gift in the mail today for going to grad school. It is a second American edition of A Room of One’s Own, by Virginia Woolf. This book was my inspiration to get my MLIS degree and become an LIS professional. Also, the little butter dish is a gift from a great friend of mine.
