    About this audiobook

    Adeline Virginia Woolf (January 25, 1882 - March 28, 1941) was a feminist, pacifist, anti-fascist and English writer born in South Kensington, London. She is considered one of the most important modernist 20th-century authors, literary critics, and pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device. This is the only surviving recording of Virginia Woolf, a talk called, "Craftsmanship."
