More Description Taking family, friends, and servants as her subjects, Virginia Woolf here presents a series of impressions of the people around her. As she describes their lives in this little known collection of sketches--including an in-depth piece on her nephew Julian Bell and works on Bloomsbury figures Lady Ottoline Morrell and Lady Strachey--she also reveals much about her own attitudes--to her writing, the war, and education.
