## Description

Virginia Woolf tested the boundaries of fiction in these short stories, developing a new language of sensation, feeling and thought, and recreating in words the 'swarm and confusion of life'. Defying categorization, the stories range from the more traditional narrative style of ' Solid Objects ' through the fragile impressionism of ' Kew Gardens ' to the abstract exploration of consciousness in ' The Mark on the Wall '.
