Flush by Virginia Woolf

pFlush was an English cocker spaniel who belonged to the nineteenthcentury poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Virginia Woolf learned of him from the love letters Elizabeth wrote to her future husband fellow poet Robert Browning and found the figure of their dog made me laugh so I couldnt resist making him a Life. The resulting biography combines sensuous imaginative description with sharp social comment and brings Woolfs unsentimental humour and insight to the fore.
