A Yale University Press study of Virginia Woolf's early life and the losses that shaped her writing: her mother, half-sister, father, brother. Katherine Dalsimer, a psychologist, reads Woolf's juvenilia, letters, and diaries alongside the major novels. The book is a slim trade paperback, serious without being clinical, with the Yale cover that expects to be shelved between biography and criticism. It is an argument as much as a portrait. Yale kept the apparatus minimal, letting Dalsimer's argument carry the volume. Ideal reader: the Woolf reader who wants to understand how grief became craft, or the biographer wary of reducing a life to diagnosis.
