Sobre este item
New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1938. 1st Edition. 1st Edition. First American Edition. A lovely copy in the publisher's brick cloth covered boards, gilt to the spine in an unclipped dynamic designed dust jacket by Vanessa Bell printed in mauve and blue, with minor chipping at the heel and crown of the spine, a few tiny indiscernible closed tears and sunning at the spine and edges. Kirkpatrick and Clarke A23b. 8vo. 285 pp. The second major work of non-fiction by Virginia Woolf, conceived as a companion volume to 'A Room Of One' Own', establishing Woolf as a significant voice in the causes of feminism and pacifism. Quite lovely indeed.
Sinopse
Three Guineas is written as a series of letters in which Virginia Woolf ponders the efficacy of donating to various causes to prevent war. In reflecting on her situation as the "daughter of an educated man" in 1930s England, Woolf challenges liberal orthodoxies and marshals vast research to make discomforting and still-challenging arguments about the relationship between gender and violence, and about the pieties of those who fail to see their complicity in war-making. This pacifist-feminist essay is a classic whose message resonates loudly in our contemporary global situation. Annotated and with an introduction by Jane Marcus
