Virginia Woolf - To The Lighthouse - 1930

Virginia Woolf – To the Lighthouse – Uniform Edition – The Hogarth Press, London, 1930 – New Edition with original cloth dust jacket
An attractive copy of Virginia Woolf's masterwork To the Lighthouse, published by The Hogarth Press (Leonard & Virginia Woolf), in the sought-after Uniform Edition. This edition concerns the New Edition of 1930, as stated on the colophon. The novel originally appeared in May 1927; this copy is therefore not a first edition, but an early Hogarth Press edition published while Virginia Woolf was still alive.
The book is bound in the original green linen publisher's binding with gilt lettering on the spine and comes with the rare original dust jacket. The dust jacket shows normal signs of wear, slight discoloration and some small tears and edge wear, but is remarkably complete. The binding is in neat condition with only light signs of use.
The interior is clean and complete. There is an owner's inscription dated 1932 on the front endpaper. The paper is bright with light, normal age-related discoloration. No loose pages or missing leaves found.
To the Lighthouse is widely regarded as one of the most important modernist novels of the twentieth century and among Virginia Woolf's most influential works. Hogarth Press editions, especially with the original dust jacket, are prized by collectors of English literature.
