Virginia Woolf: Flush

There is not much to say about this book, for reasons of length as well as content. It was neither innovative or profound. It is unlike any other of her books--or any book, really. It is a rare intersection of scholarship and affection. The love Woolf bears for her topic is evident in every page, and in the fact that she bothered to write the book at all. I can relate to this, for certain. Elizabeth Barrett Browning was my first favorite among writers. Although I have grown apart from her in many ways, reading Flush brought back much of my old warmth, and that was well worth my time.
