David Bradshaw has written widely on twentieth-century literature and is the editor of A Concise Companion to Modernism (Blackwell, 2006) and A Companion to Modernist Literature and Culture. For Oxford World's Classics he has edited Woolf's To the Lighthouse, Mrs Dalloway, The Mark on the Wall and Other Stories, and Selected Essays.
Oxford World Classics has produced a terrific reissue of Virginia
Woolf's novel The Waves. There are helpful endnotes, biographical
information, a selected bibliography and an introduction... a
beautiful, rich novel that cannot be completely grasped in one
reading. It begs to be read again and again. When I finished it I
was surprised by how emotionally charged and churned up I was. I
felt abandoned on the shore as the tide went out, left to wait for
its return, for a wave to grab me and pull me back out to sea.
*Shiny New Books, Stefanie Hollmichel*
Bradshaw's introduction helps the reader to see just how readable
it actually is.
