Summary
Summary
Virginia Woolf started to write a biography of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's spaniel after finishing The Waves, tracing the life of the spaniel from his country origins, his puppyhood spent with the writer Mary Mitford, through his sheltered existence with Elizabeth Barrett in her sick room, and later travels in Florence. But Flush is much more than a playful writer's holiday. Woolf explores class and gender in Victorian London, with gently mocking humor. Charming yet also radical, Flush is a work of sensuous imagination.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“This book is, obliquely, a retelling of the most famous Victorian romance among the poets; and Mrs. Woolf would be the one to give that story its final fillip by glimpsing it from a dog's point of view.” —New York Times
“ Flush is an afternoon’s delight for dog-loving readers. Its wit and
whimsy and sniffing, snuffling playfulness will amuse anyone who’s ever
known a spaniel. Woolf’s literary underdog is a canine classic.” —Guardian (London)
“A masterpiece…It is not fiction because it has the substance, the reality of truth. It is not biography because it has the freedom, the artistry, of fiction.” —New York Herald Tribune
“Perfectly proportioned…[Flush] amused Mrs. Woolf to write and it has brought out her delightful humor as nothing else has ever done.” —New Statesman and Nation
