About this audiobook

'He wished to be truthful without hurting; to be generous without being wasteful; to be just without being harsh.' A comprehensive and personal account of critic and artist Roger Fry, Roger Fry: A Biography is a uniquely written narrative which comes alive with Woolf's literary flair and verve. The last book that Woolf saw to publication in 1940, this stunning biography charts Fry's early years and education, through to his prominent role in pioneering Post-Impressionism in Britain and the legacy he left behind. Woolf elegantly explores Fry's intellectual pursuits and artistic philosophy, offering great insight into his exhibitions and literary endeavours. She also paints a nuanced and candid portrait of the man behind the artist, delving into Fry's relationships and personal demons, creating a poignant tribute to the deeply sensitive and complex soul that Woolf came to know intimately. The result is a sophisticated study of an artist in constant search of an aesthetic truth. This audiobook edition is skilfully read by Rachel Atkins. Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941) was one of the most significant novelists of the twentieth century. A modernist writer and progressive thinker, she is known for her stream of consciousness narrative style and influence on feminist criticism. Her works have been translated into over fifty languages and are widely read and adapted to this day.
