Description

Virginia Woolf’s The Sun and the Fish recounts her first-hand experience of the first total eclipse of the sun to be visible in England for over two hundred years.
Virginia Woolf observed the eclipse from the hillside of Bardon Fell in Yorkshire early in the morning of 29 June 1927, with her husband Leonard and some friends, including Vita Sackville-West. The narrative then moves to London’s Zoological Garden, where less than two weeks later, Woolf herself visited the new aquarium.
