- "Four volumes of Virginia Woolf's collected essays have already been published ... This fifth volume will probably be the last ... those which have not been included, were found by me to have been insufficiently revised. I must repeat what I have said before, that those which have been included would certainly have been revised or rewritten by her, had she lived. All of them have, in fact, been revised and rewritten by her, but the process would have continued before she actually published them in a volume of collected essays. ... Where ascertainable I have noted the year in which the essay was written."-- Leonard Woolf, Editorial Note.
