FIRST EDITION of Woolf’s bestselling novel which traces the life of the Pargiter family from 1880 to “present day.” Woolf originally intended the novel to be a sequel to A Room of One’s Own and planned to alternate nonfiction essays with the family’s story. She ultimately excluded the nonfiction and changed the working title from “The Pargiters” to The Years. Kirkpatrick A22a.
