Rezension

Back cover copy

The Years was Virginia Woolf's most commercially successful novel, topping the American best-seller list for weeks. It takes the form of a seemingly conventional family saga, but it is in fact a tightly organized meditation on the class system, feminism, politics, imperialism, and war. This important new edition adopts the text of the first British edition of the novel, published in London on March 15, 1937. A comprehensive introduction details the lengthy process of the composition and revision of the novel (it was envisaged at the outset as an essay on the professional lives of women, revised into an "Essay-Novel called the Pargiters," and underwent many further significant changes – some at the very last moment), and its subsequent publication history. The extensive explanatory notes highlight the political, historical, social, and literary contexts of the novel, while the variants between the first British and American editions, as well as the editorial emendations made in this present edition, are listed in an appendix.
