Flush - A Biography is Virginia Woolf's imaginative and poignant account of the life of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's beloved cocker spaniel, Flush.

Through the eyes of this charming dog, Woolf weaves a narrative that explores themes far beyond a simple pet's adventures-touching on issues of class, gender, and the nature of identity. Interpreted variously as an allegory of class struggle and a commentary on feminist and gender issues, Flush is a richly layered work that invites readers to consider the intersections of animality, humanity, and social expectations.

First published in 1933, this unique and thought-provoking biography is essential reading for anyone interested in feminist literature and Woolf's broader literary oeuvre. In this edition, readers will also find Woolf's insightful essay The Art of Biography, where she delves into the craft of life-writing, offering valuable context to her approach in Flush.
