The generally received opinion of Virginia Woolf is that, though a genius, she was from time to time simply 'insane' or 'mad'. Roger Poole sets out in this book to question this opinion. Drawing on a wide range of material, some of which has only recently become available, he traces the pattern of Woolf's responses to her personal experiences, suggesting the causes behind the various nervous collapses which she suffered and offering an explanation of why they occurred.
