The final volume of the trilogy, Virginia Woolf, The War Without, The War Within: Her Final Diaries & the Diaries She Read by Barbara Lounsberry has just come out from the University Press of Florida. It takes up where the last left off and traces Woolf’s 13 final diary books, from 1929 to 4 days before her suicide in March 1941. Beyond mapping Woolf’s diary development across the 1930s and how she used her diary to fight against the growing fascism and war, Lounsberry reveals 19 other diaries Woolf read during this time that influenced her public works. These include the diaries of Dorothy Wordsworth, Guy de Maupassant, Andre Gide, Alice James, verse dramatists “Michael Field,” artist Charles Ricketts, Leo and Countess Tolstoy, and more.
