In 1917 Virginia and Leonard Woolf invested in a printing press and set up the Hogarth Press. From 1921 all Virginia’s novels and essays were published with the Hogarth imprint. This independence was critical to her development as a writer, giving her the confidence to experiment and eventually help redefine the face of English literature.
The WordCurves Press has been set up with similar objectives — to be open to new ideas within the arts and to publish works by upcoming authors, poets, dramatists, artists, film makers, dancers and musicians.
Two Stories, written by Leonard and Virginia and accompanied by Dora Carrington’s woodcuts, was the Hogarth Press’s first publication. This attention to both the visual and verbal content of Hogarth books is a fundamental quality WordCurves will seek to emulate.
