description: The thrill Woolf got from these stories is readily apparent to the reader. She wrote them in defiance of convention, with a heady feeling of liberation and with a clear sense that she was breaking new ground. Indeed, if she had not made her bold and experimental forays into the short story in the period leading up to the publication of Jacob's room (1922), it seems certain that her arrival as a great modernist novelist would have been delayed.- The Mark On The Wall- Kew Gardens- An Unwritten Novel- A Haunted House- Monday or Tuesday- Blue and Green- The String Quartet- A Society- Solid Objects- In the Orchard- The Lady in the Looking-Glass : a Reflection- The Shooting Party- The Duchess and the Jeweller- Lappin and Lapinova- The Legacy
