"We are trembling on the verge of one of the great ages of English literature." - Virginia Woolf."Mrs. Dalloway was the first novel to split the atom. ... It is one of the most moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century." (Michael Cunningham, The Hours.)"It is absolutely unafraid... Here at last is a book which attains unity as surely as Wuthering Heights, though by a different path." (E. M. Forster, on The Journey Out.)"No plainer manifestation of the modernist trend in contemporary English fiction may be found than in Virginia Woolf's Jacob's Room." - The New York Times."Virginia Woolf was one of the great innovators of that decade of literary modernism, the 1920s. Novels such as Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse showed how experimental writing could reshape our sense of ordinary life. Taking unremarkable materials - preparations for a genteel party, a day on a bourgeois family holiday - they trace the flow of associations and ideas that we call 'consciousness'." - The GuardianThe Early Novels.: The Voyage Out, Night and Day, Jacob's Room, Mrs Dalloway"Mrs Dalloway ... a book for a lifetime" -- Christine Dwyer Hickey.Virginia Woolf was one of the most influential modernist writers. This volume collects four of her novels and displays her developing genius. The Voyage Out, her first novel, "captures so brilliantly the excitement of youth," and first introduces the character, Clarissa Dalloway. In Night and Day, a traditional novel with two intersecting love triangles, Woolf innovatively portrays marriage as a partnership between equals. Jacob's Room is Woolf's first experimental novel, while the semi-autobiographical Mrs Dalloway is probably Woolf's most popular novel.Virginia Woolf was a luminous novelist, a prolific essayist and book reviewer, and a diarist. With her husband Leonard, Woolf established and ran the Hogarth Press which published works by influential modernist writers. In their first five years, they published Katherine Mansfield, T. S. Eliot, E. M. Forster, Clive Bell, Roger Fry and Sigmund Freud. Woolf's haunting writing, her feminism, and her revolutionary experiments with points of view and stream of consciousness altered the course of literature.

The foundational text on the philosophy of yoga. A wonderful book to be read over and over again.About two millennia ago, the sage Patanjali synthesized and organized the teachings on yoga from older traditions into an intricately connected sequence of aphorisms. Hindu tradition regards The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali as the foundational text of yoga philosophy. The work fell into obscurity from the 12th to the 19th century, returning to prominence only in the late 19th century due to the efforts of the Theosophical Society, and then Swami Vivekananda, and others. This edition, translated by the Sanskrit scholar and Theosophist Charles Johnston, contains the original sutras without the addition of later commentaries. It allows the reader to directly engage with the essence of the philosophy of yoga in English.An edition containing Johnston's commentary is available in paperback (978-1-78943-001-1) and hardback (978-1-78943-003-5).
