Woolf, Virginia, 1882-1941 · 1921

This volume contains two stories by Virginia Woolf, published by the Hogarth Press in 1921 with woodcuts by Vanessa Bell. "A Haunted House" is a lyrical supernatural narrative in which a ghostly couple wanders through a country dwelling searching for a hidden treasure—which is ultimately revealed to be love itself. The narration blends the perspective of invisible observers with meditations on death, time, and domestic intimacy, as moonlight and shadow play across the house's rooms and garden. "A Society" is a satirical narrative wherein seven young women form a fact-gathering organization to investigate whether men have truly produced good books and good people, as traditionally claimed. The women disguise themselves to infiltrate institutions—the Navy, Law Courts, Royal Academy, and Oxford—and return with comic accounts of their discoveries: military absurdity regarding honor, judicial incompetence, and academic pedantry. The story remains incomplete in this OCR text.
