| (Virginia Woolf)
|
| This imaginative biography of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's cocker spaniel, Flush, is a cross-genre blend of fiction and non-fiction. It traces the life of Flush from his carefree existence in the country, to his adoption by Ms. Browning and his travails in London, leading up to his final days in a bucolic Italy. Woolf uses the life of a dog as a means of social criticism, ranging across topics from feminism, and environmentalism, to class conflict. [Wikipedia]
