The Letters of Virginia Woolf were published by the Hogarth Press in six volumes, between 1975 and 1980. The present volume largely comprises her letters to Violet Dickinson – Woolf’s mentor, confidante, and perhaps lover – as well as to Vanessa and Clive Bell, Madge Vaughan, Lady Ottoline Morrell, and Lytton Strachey.
