Synopsis

New to the Vintage Classics Woolf series, this is Woolf's groundbreaking experimental novel.
Jacob's Room is Virginia Woolf's first truly experimental novel.

Impressionistic in style, the narrative is as inspired now as it was when it first appeared.

'A remarkable achievement' New Statesman
