A Poet Can Survive Everything But a Misprint
Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was born in Dublin in 1854. He went to Trinity College, Dublin and then to Magdalen College, Oxford, where he began to propagandize the new Aesthetic (or 'Art for Art's Sake') Movement.Despite winning a first and the Newdigate Prize for Poetry, Wilde failed to obtain an Oxford scholarship, and was forced to earn a living by lecturing and writing for periodicals. After his marriage to Constance Lloyd in 1884, he tried to establish himself as a writer, but with little initial success. However, his three volumes of short fiction, The Happy Prince (1888), Lord Arthur Savile's Crime (1891) and A House of Pomegranates (1891), together with his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891), gradually won him a reputation as a modern writer with an original talent, a reputation confirmed and enhanced by the phenomenal success of his Society Comedies - Lady Windermere's Fan, A Woman of No Importance, An Ideal Husband and The Importance of Being Earnest, all performed on the West End stage between 1892 and 1895.Success, however, was short-lived. In 1891 Wilde had met and fallen extravagantly in love with Lord Alfred Douglas. In 1895, when his success as a dramatist was at its height, Wilde brought an unsuccessful libel action against Douglas's father, the Marquess of Queensberry. Wilde lost the case and two trials later was sentenced to two years' imprisonment for acts of gross indecency. As a result of this experience he wrote The Ballad of Reading Gaol. He was released from prison in 1897 and went into an immediate self-imposed exile on the Continent. He died in Paris in ignominy in 1900.

Between the Acts
Virginia Woolf's final novel, Between the Acts, stages a village pageant at Pointz Hall on a summer day in 1939, turning a seemingly provincial gathering into a meditation on English history, theatrical illusion, class, gender, and impending war. Its style is late modernist at its most distilled: fragmented voices, lyrical interruptions, abrupt shifts in perspective, and a porous boundary between performance and life. Published posthumously in 1941, the novel belongs to the shadowed literature of the interwar period, where cultural memory confronts political catastrophe. Woolf wrote the book after decades of formal experimentation, from Mrs Dalloway to The Waves, and it bears the marks of her lifelong concern with consciousness, art, and social ritual. As a central figure of the Bloomsbury Group, a feminist critic, and a writer living through the rise of fascism and another European war, Woolf shaped this novel from both aesthetic daring and historical urgency. This is an essential book for readers interested in modernism, feminist literary history, and the power of art under pressure. Subtle, unsettling, and brilliantly composed, it rewards attentive reading.

Mrs Dalloway
With an Introduction and Notes by Merry M. Pawlowski, Professor and Chair, Department of English, California State University, Bakersfield.

Society hostess, Clarissa Dalloway is giving a party. Her thoughts and sensations on that one day, and the interior monologues of others whose lives are interwoven with hers gradually reveal the characters of the central protagonists. Clarissa's life is touched by tragedy as the events in her day run parallel to those of Septimus Warren Smith, whose madness escalates as his life draws toward inevitable suicide.

Woolf questions why women's voices have often been excluded from the literary canon and considers what might happen if these obstacles were removed.Her writing is direct and thoughtful, mixing personal reflection with careful analysis. Woolf's observations remain relevant today, highlighting ongoing challenges for women in literature and creative fields.More than a critique, A Room of One's Own is a call for practical change: providing women with resources, education, and freedom to create.

An Unwritten Novel
Saving fleeting snapshots, astutely observing strangers, recording meticulous detail: modernist author Virginia Woolf knows how to capture a moment.In 'Kew Gardens' and 'An Unwritten Novel', everyday life becomes a powerful stage for dreaming and storytelling. Woolf's trademark stream-of-consciousness writing style is showcased in 'The Mark on the Wall' where a nameless narrator zeroes in on their environment, becoming more and more unnerved by a seemingly inexplicable dark stain.'The New Dress' and 'The Looking Glass' are brilliantly observed portraits of a few choice instants. In the former, the party dress Mabel Waring decides to wear leaves her feeling uncertain and doubtful, but she resolves to change for the better. In each of these seven stories, Woolf explores the nuanced events which make up daily life and maps how they intertwine with our thoughts and emotions.This series of pocket-sized paperbacks celebrates the art of the short story and marks Macmillan Collector's Library's 10th anniversary. Each contains a curated selection of short stories from a literary giant: Katherine Mansfield, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allen Poe, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Alice Dunbar Nelson, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Rabindranath Tagore.
