Each volume in the series is intended to provide an introduction to a writer. In this study the author provides an overview of Virginia Woolf's life and career, discussing her letters and diaries, and analyzing her major novels as he traces the development of her experimental techniques. He devotes a chapter to her critical writing, exploring the thematic and stylistic connections between the essays and the novels, and in a concluding chapter, discusses her relation to contemporaries such as E.M.Forster, James Joyce, Katherine Mansfield, and D.H.Lawrence, defining Woolf's place and influence in the modern era.
