Carlyle’s House and Other Sketches marks the first publication of one of Virginia Woolf’s very earliest notebooks. Recently unearthed from a collection of private papers, it contains a series of six striking and semi-autobiographical sketches, each transcribed and edited by Dr. David Bradshaw. From the cold formality of London townhouses with their rows of austere portraits, to the dull chaos of the academic’s abode, and the eccentric spinster’s Hampstead home, Virginia Woolf paints a series of portraits of everyday life, capturing character and setting in exquisite detail. Experimental in style, and heralding the later masterpieces Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse, this early notebook is quintessential Woolf.

Os fragmentos de um ano ruim para a autora, nos quais o canône ficcional cede lugar a uma mulher ainda vítima da pretensão juvenil, combinada com iguais doses de armagura e despeito. Um livro interessante, sem dúvida, mas não necessariamente do ponto de vista literário.
