Introduced by Quentin Bell In her third novel, Virginia Woolf discovers her own unique voice as a novelist and the impressionistic style of her great later works. This definitive edition contains the original Hogarth Press text as overseen by the author and a list of the textual variants that appeared during her lifetime. Jacob's Room tells the moving story of Jacob Flanders, a young man killed in the First World War, and marks a turning point in the history of the English novel. It is also a remarkable work in its own right.
