This collection of essays by the famous English writer Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) includes small analytical texts written in the same rich artistic language as her large prose. Some of the works were conceived as brutal social polemics, while others resemble more literary essays, probing modernist novels, or psychological sketches. In each essay in this collection, Wolfe shows himself to be a sensitive recorder of modernity, creating texts-moments, hard-to-find sketches, pictures, and intuitions of the new century.
The title work, "Thoughts on Peace During an Air Raid," was written in August 1940 for an American symposium on the problems of modern women. In it, Wolfe discusses how the patriarchal desire to dominate and enslave leads to wars and dictatorships.
