Between the Acts

About “Between the Acts”

Virginia Woolf's final novel, Between the Acts, was published in July 1941, though Woolf had planned to continue revising it before her death in March of that year. Her husband, Leonard Woolf, prepared the book for publication after her death, and his revisions became part of the version widely read today. The Cambridge edition presents the novel in the form Woolf left it, examining its composition and publication history. It includes all variants and explains editorial choices made by Leonard Woolf. The edition features detailed notes, a chronology, and a critical introduction, offering scholars a comprehensive resource to better understand Woolf's last work.
