'Thats what makes a view so sad, and so beautiful. It'll be there when we're not.' Between the Acts, Virginia Woolf's final novel, is a haunting meditation on performance, history and the fleeting nature of life. Published posthumously in 1941, Woolf's remarkable novel unfolds over the course of a single summer's day in a country house, just before the beginning of the Second World War. As local villagers gather for an annual pageant due to celebrate English history, the boundary between performance and reality begins to blur. Through brief conversations, inner reflections and the rhythms of the pageant itself, Woolf captures the delicate interplay of private lives and collective memory. Although largely considered unfinished by critics, Between the Acts is arguably one of Woolf's most lyrical works, much of it written in verse. Both satirical and profoundly moving, it distils Woolf's lifelong preoccupations with the passing of time, art and the human psyche. It stands as a poignant farewell from one of the twentieth century's greatest literary innovators. Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941) was one of the most significant novelists of the twentieth century. A modernist writer and progressive thinker, she is known for her stream of consciousness narrative style and influence on feminist criticism. Her works have been translated into over fifty languages and are widely read and adapted to this day.
