Book Title: Between the Acts (The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Virginia Woolf)

Author: Virginia Woolf (edition by Mark Hussey)

Selection Statement:

When I first taught  Between the Acts many years ago students were extremely interested in the author's attitude toward and relationship with theater.  Later this inspired me to pursue audience reception research that in turn led to many of the articles I have written over the years.  Between the Acts is also the inspiration for my book Virginia Woolf and the Theater.  This new edition of the book was not available to me, but it will enrich this important novel for all future readers.
