First U.S. edition, the third printing from July, 1927. A masterpiece, one of Virginia Woolf’s "few novels where something happens, written at the height of her luminous Impressionist vision. The sunniest of her books and shows the obsession with rendering the passage of time which dominated her later work.” (Connolly). Cf. Woolmer 154 (1st UK ed); cf. Connolly 100, The Modern Movement, no. 54.
