FIRST EDITION.  The personal publishing enterprise of Leonard and Virginia Woolf began with the installation of a handpress in the drawing room of Hogarth House in 1917.  What started as amateur diversion from the demands of their own writing encompassed, by the time of Virginia’s suicide in 1941, the publication of 474 titles.  Along the way, the Woolfs published the early work of T. S. Eliot, Katherine Mansfield, John Maynard Keynes, and a host of others and introduced the English-speaking world to the great Russian novelists and Sigmund Freud.
