Flush (collected Works of Woolf)

About This Novel
"Flush is a plush version of Woolf." Woolf's rare humorous work and one of the best-selling works, a warm little book written for "dog lovers", is the best introduction to reading Woolf. Flush is a puppy with a great background. His owner is Elizabeth Barrett (later Mrs. Browning), a legendary woman in the history of English literature. Flush and her went from being in conflict with each other to being inseparable, accompanying her through the years of lingering in bed, and then followed her to elope with Mr. Browning, from the cold and humid England to sunny Italy, and witnessed the happy married life of the two poets. In "Flouch", the author uses humorous writing methods to reproduce the romantic love of the poet couple that transcends time and space by writing a biography of the dog. At the same time, the author also uses a dog's perspective to reflect the social contradictions of the Victorian era and urbanites' yearning for nature and wildness. The author's unique feminist thoughts add an evocative depth to this sketch-like work. Attached is Woolf's famous essay "Remembering a Faithful Friend" in which she fondly recalls her beloved dog.
