Customer Reviews

Woolf's essays present the author's stream of consciousness.

The Second Common Reader is merely an extension of Woolf's own literary genius as she enters into the minds of authors such as Donne, Hardy, DeFoe and Swift, among others. She uses her "stream of consciousness" literary tool to incorporate the life of the writer into his or her own work. This book is necessary for anyone interested in stream of consciousness writing and criticism. Woolf, once again, never ceases to amaze me.
