"The Waves" by Virginia Woolf, published by Harcourt, Brace and Company in 1931, is a seminal work of modernist literature. This hardcover edition, printed in New York, is identified as a first edition on the copyright page. Virginia Woolf, a leading figure in modernist writing, employs a stream-of-consciousness narrative to explore the inner lives of six characters from childhood to adulthood.
