To the Lighthouse

Publication history

Upon completing the draft of this, her most autobiographical novel, Woolf described it as 'easily the best of my books' and her husband Leonard thought it a "'masterpiece' ... entirely new 'a psychological poem'".[16] They published it together at their Hogarth Press in London in 1927. The first impression of 3000 copies of 320 pages measuring 7+1⁄2 by 5 inches (191 by 127 mm) was bound in blue cloth. The book outsold all Woolf's previous novels, and the royalties enabled the Woolfs to buy a car.[17]
