The Waves. First edition of the author's most ambitious and experimental novel.Cyril Connolly hailed The Waves as Woolf's masterpiece. "It is one of the books which comes nearest to stating the mystery of life and so, in a sense, nearest to solving it" (Connolly, p. 49). The text is woven from the interior voices of its six protagonists, who were in part modelled on E. M. Forster, Lytton Strachey, T. S. Eliot, Mary Hutchison, Vanessa Bell, and Woolf herself, revealing their respective loves and loneliness.
