When Virginia Woolf died, she left behind 26 notebooks filled with her own handwriting. In these notebooks, for 27 years, Woolf recorded almost continuously what she did, who she saw, what she thought about these people, about herself, about the books she was writing or hoped to write. In these notebooks, she talked to herself about the books she was writing or intended to write in the future.

A Writer's Diary discusses the problems Woolf confronted in the creative process as she conceived, wrote or revised each of her novels: plot or form, persona or setting. It paints an insider's, unconventional picture of her artistic production, shedding light on her aims, goals and methods.

"A Writer's Diary is more than enough for us to get to know Virginia Woolf closely."
Mîna Urgan

"I took courage from reading Virginia Woolf's Diary of a Writer... read this diary."
Sylvia Plath
