Description: 1978 Vintage Paperback, 1st Edition, A Harvest, HBJ Edition Good Condition- some minor wear and tear- little rub off on front cover. see photos Pre-owned "THE PARGITERS: Novel-Essay Portion of the Years" is a unique work by Virginia Woolf. Originally intended as a novel, it was never completed in that form. Instead, Woolf transformed it into an experimental hybrid of novel and essay. The book was first published in 1978, edited by Mitchell A. Leaska. It comprises two parts: the unfinished novel "The Pargiters" and the essay "Portions of the Years." "The Pargiters" was Woolf's attempt to write a novel about the English middle-class Pargiter family over a period of time, spanning several generations. However, she found herself struggling with the traditional novel form and eventually abandoned it. In "Portions of the Years," Woolf reflects on the challenges she faced in writing "The Pargiters" and discusses her thoughts on fiction, narrative structure, and the role of the novelist in capturing the essence of human experience. This essay provides valuable insights into Woolf's creative process and her views on the art of fiction. While "The Pargiters" remains incomplete, and "Portions of the Years" offers a fascinating glimpse into Woolf's literary craftsmanship and intellectual depth. The book is of interest not only to fans of Woolf's work but also to scholars and students of modernist literature.
