THE COMMON READER
BY VIRGINIA WOOLF
“. . . I rejoice to concur with the common reader; for by the common sense of readers, uncorrupted by literary prejudices, after all the refinements of subtlety and the dogmatism of learning, must be generally decided all claim to poetical honors.”
DR. JOHNSON, Life of Gray.

Some of these papers appeared originally in the _Times Literary Supplement_ and the _Dial_. I have to thank the Editors for allowing me to reprint them here; some are based upon articles written for various newspapers, while others appear now for the first time.
