This bibliography of Virginia Woolf, prepared with the late Leonard Woolf's co-operation, has been expanded since the revised editions of 1967 and 1980. It is the result both of the explosion of new editions of existing books, and of the appearance of much previously unpublished material.
This book, enormously expanded by the inclusion of new items that have appeared since the Third Edition of 1980, describes all of Virginia Woolf's publications: books, pamphlets, articles (including unsigned articles tracked down in periodicals and newspapers), translations, foreign editions, uncollected letters, miscellania, and manuscripts. It is an essential reference tool for all those seriously interested in Woolf, whether student, scholar, collector, or enthusiast.
It would have been hard either to overlook or overestimate the contribution made by B. J. Kirkpatrick to validating the reputation of Virginia Woolf .../ ... offers not only a wealth of primary and related secondary materials (with care taken to avoid duplicating the work of other bibliographical sources), but the kind of detail and interest that fills hours in the library./ The fourth edition ... is not only welcome, but remains essential to anyone interested in Woolf, and the continued hold she has over us./ Karen L. Levenback, George Washington University, Virginia Woolf Miscellany, Spring 1999.
