Harper Collins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.

 ‘Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind…’ Based on a lecture given at Cambridge and first published in 1929, ‘A Room of One’s Own’ interweaves Woolf’s personal experience as a female writer with themes ranging from Austen and Bronte to Shakespeare’s gifted (and imaginary) sister. ‘Three Guineas’, Woolf’s most impassioned polemic, came almost a decade later and broke new ground by challenging the very notions of war and masculinity. This volume combines two inspirational, witty and urbane essays from one of literature’s pre-eminent voices; collectively they constitute a brilliant and lucid attack on sexual inequality.


Harper Collins 出版社將推出全新一系列最受讀者愛戴的經典名著。

「你大可以關閉圖書館；但沒有任何門、鎖或門閂可以限制我思想的自由。」
《自己的房間》於 1929 年首次出版，是作者維吉尼亞‧吳爾芙以自己在劍橋大學的一堂演講為發想，撰寫而成的著作，內容除了談到自己身為女性作家的歷程，也探討了各式主題，像是作家珍．奧斯汀、夏綠蒂．勃朗特和作者筆下虛構的人物──威廉．莎士比亞才華洋溢的妹妹。約莫十年後，吳爾芙的另一著作《三枚金幣》才終於出版，內容極具開創性，挑戰了當時社會對戰爭及男性的既有看法，被視為是她最慷慨激昂的論戰。維吉尼亞‧吳爾芙是一位傑出的作家，本書收錄了上述兩部充滿啟發性、詼諧機智又典雅自信的作品，讓讀者一睹吳爾芙如何巧妙而直率地抨擊性別不平等的現象。
