FIRST AMERICAN EDITION of Woolf’s second novel.  Set in Edwardian London, Night and Day contrasts the daily lives of Katharine Hilbery and Mary Datchet, which she considered to be her “traditional” novel written in the style of the 19th-century novelists she admired.  Doran likely only printed one impression; by 1929, only 1,326 copies had been sold.
