This captivating book delves into the intricate relationship between the material conditions of Virginia Woolf's writing practices and her remarkable role as a printer and publisher at the Hogarth Press. Through a meticulous exploration of her embodied literary processes, from drafting and composition to hand-printing and binding, this study sheds light on the profound interplay between Woolf's modernist experimentation and the visual and material aspects of her printed works. By drawing upon the rich field of print culture and the materialist turn in Woolf scholarship, the book uncovers how Woolf's experience in print, book-design, and publishing not only shaped her experimental writing but also conditioned the very texts she produced. In doing so, it offers fresh perspectives on Woolf's modernism within the context of twentieth-century print, material, and visual cultures. Moreover, the book suggests that Woolf's work at the Hogarth Press heightened her awareness of the crucial role that visual elements play in a text's system of representation. It also examines the extent to which materiality informs both Woolf's artistic endeavors and her engagement with Bloomsbury formalist aesthetics, which often emphasized the distinction between visual and verbal modes of expression. This thought-provoking exploration of the interconnections between literature, print, and materiality provides readers with a deeper understanding of Woolf's remarkable contributions to the world of letters.
