Between The Acts by Virginia Woolf [Paperback]

Between the Acts, Virginia Woolf’s final novel, is set in an English country house on the eve of World War II. Over the course of a single day, the residents and visitors gather to watch a village pageant depicting episodes from English history.

Through the performance and the characters’ private thoughts, Woolf explores the relationship between art and reality, memory and history, individual and collective identity, tradition and social change. Beneath the seemingly peaceful rural setting is a growing sense of anxiety as war approaches.
