FLUSH - Virginia Woolf

‘The figure of their dog made me laugh so I couldn’t resist making him a Life.’

We commissioned Aino-Maija Metsola to illustrate Virginia Woolf’s endearing, witty and insightful 'biography’ of the cocker spaniel Flush, loyal companion to nineteenth century poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

Flush combines sensuous imaginative description, with sharp social comment, and brings Woolf’s unsentimental humour and insight to the fore. We see Flush as loyal confidant to Elizabeth on her sickbed at Wimpole Street, and from his jealous perspective we witness her courtship by Browning, their elopement and new life in Italy.

This edition of Flush, joins the previous six Woolf re-issues, illustrated by Helsinki-based Aino-Maija Metsola.
