A generous "Contexts" section provides excerpts from Woolf's diaries and letters, as well as comments on the novel from her peers and friends, including E. M. Forster and T. S. Eliot.
It also includes the short stories "The Mark on the Wall," "Kew Gardens," and "An Unwritten Novel," which Woolf considered early experimental attempts with the innovative methods used in Jacob’s Room.
An additional short story, "A Woman’s College from Outside," which Woolf initially intended to be Chapter 10 of Jacob’s Room, is also included.
Finally, Woolf's classic essay "Modern Novels," written shortly before she began her work on Jacob’s Room, provides insight into her aesthetic and technique.
The "Criticism" section is divided into two parts: "Contemporary Reception and Reviews" contains personal reactions to the novel, from Lytton Strachey and E. M. Forster, as well as eleven reviews from contemporary magazines.
"Critical Essays" offers penetrating interpretations from Judy Little, Alex Zwerdling, Kate Flint, Kathleen Wall, and Edward L. Bishop.
A Selected Bibliography is also included.
