‘The Sea Blazed Gold’ Virginia Woolf in St Ives, Cornwall

Virginia Woolf’s childhood summer holidays spent at Talland House in St Ives not only gifted her vivid memories of the unique spirit of Cornwall – its ancient lands, wild coastal paths and mesmerising light – but also inspired her to write her masterpiece novel To the Lighthouse.

Using excerpts from Woolf’s diaries, letters and novels, interwoven with Louisa Amelia Albani own artworks, this pamphlet celebrates her time in St Ives and the impact it had on her life.
