弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫（Virginia Woolf, 1882—1941）是20世纪著名的英国“意识流”小说家。她的小说不注重情节，而着重以抒情散文的形式写出人物内心世界的活动、进行细致的心理描写。同时，她也是一位散文家，善于用轻灵活泼的文笔写出她对于自己所喜爱的作家和作品的印象。她这方面的文章主要收入题为《普通读者》和《普通读者二集》两书（The Common Reader, 1925; The Second Common Reader, 1932）。这些文章乃是一个具有高度文化修养和丰富创作经验的女作家，在创作之余所写的一批富有个人独特风格的随笔散文。本书选译其中的十三篇。

Virginia Woolf (1882—1941)　English writer whose novels, through their nonlinear approaches to narrative, exerted a major influence on the genre. While she is best known for her novels, especially Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927), Woolf also wrote pioneering essays on artistic theory, literary history, women's writing, and the politics of power. A fine stylist, she experimented with several forms of biographical writing, composed painterly short fictions, and sent to her friends and family a lifetime of brilliant letters.
