Celebrate the 100th anniversary of an innovative novel with this rare hardcover edition based on the first edition published by Hogarth Press. Claire Staloway said she would buy the flowers herself. Christina Dalloway is preparing to host a party. Throughout one day, as she prepares her home, Christina is flooded with memories and reconsiders the choices she has made throughout her life. Virginia Woolf began writing "Claire Staloway" in 1922 as a short story. Its publication in 1925 met with moderate commercial success, but the novel became one of the most vital works of literature in the last century. The text of this anniversary edition of Claire Staloway is based on the original edition by Hogarth Press, published by Virginia and Leonard Woolf on May 14, 1925. The book's case features the original cover created by Virginia Woolf's sister, Vanessa Bell, for Hogarth Press. Beneath the cover, the 'deep maroon' bindings printed in gold are inspired by the finish of the first commercial edition.
