WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY SUSAN HILL, The Years follows the lives of the Pargiters
, a large middle-class London family, from an uncertain spring in 1880 to a part
y on a summer evening in the 1930s. We see them each endure and remember heart-b
reak, loss, radical change and stifling conformity, marriage and regret. Written
in 1937, this was the most popular of Virginia Woolf's novels during her lifeti
me, and is a powerful indictment of 'Victorianism' and its values.
