Street Haunting: A London Adventure

In this beautifully evocative essay, Virginia Woolf transforms a simple errand—a trip to buy a pencil—into a mesmerizing exploration of city life, memory, identity, and the quiet drama of everyday existence. As she drifts through the winter streets of London, Woolf captures fleeting moments, passing faces, and the rhythm of urban solitude with her signature lyricism and insight.

Street Haunting is more than a stroll through the city—it's a meditation on how we see the world, and how the world, in turn, shapes who we are.

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was an English novelist and essayist regarded as one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century. During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a member of the famous Bloomsbury Group.
