  • "Dernier roman de W. Woolf, "le plus dénué de romanesque traditionnel". Sujet: dans un petit village britannique des amateurs jouent la pièce qu'ils ont écrite. Préface, p. 5-24."
  • ""Virginia Woolf's extraordinary last novel, Between the Acts, was published in July 1941. In the weeks before she died in March that year, Woolf wrote that she planned to continue revising the book and that it was not ready for publication. Her husband prepared the work for publication after her death, and his revisions have become part of the text now widely read by students and scholars. Unlike most previous editions, the Cambridge edition returns to the final version of the novel as Woolf left it, examining the stages of composition and publication. Using the final typescript as a guide, this edition fully collates all variants and thus accounts for all the editorial decisions made by Leonard Woolf for the first published edition. With detailed explanatory notes, a chronology and an informative critical introduction, this volume will allow scholars to develop a fuller understanding of Woolf's last work.""

  • "Tussen een aantal mensen dat in een Britse provincieplaats als amateurs een toneelstuk wil opvoeren, ontstaat een kortstondige band."

  • "Novela byla vydána po autorčině smrti v r. 1941 a je vlastně epilogem celého jejího díla. Děj není bohatý, Woolfová se zaměřuje převážně na vnitřní život lidí - její metoda je introspektivní. Sleduje jeden den kolemochotnického provedení hry stárnoucí spisovatelky a herečky na venkovském sídle. V závěrečném monologu se zamýšlí nad posláním umělce a uměleckého díla ve světě. Je to úvaha o věčné nejistotě, která souvisí s tragickou smrtíspisovatelky."
  • "Between the Acts, one of Woolf's most lyrical works, was published shortly after her death in 1941. Its focus is the performance of a village pageant, written and directed by Miss La Trobe, encompassing the whole history of England."@en

  • "In Woolf's last novel, the action takes place on one summer's day at a country house in the heart of England, where the villagers are presenting their annual pageant. A lyrical, moving valedictory."@en
  • "Roman se dogaja v toplem junijskem dnevu l. 1939, kjer v starodavni angleški vasici pred hišo plemiške družine Oliver vaščani uprizorijo vsakoletno zgodovinsko igro. Tokrat igra govori o razvoju angleške civilizacije in literature, igralci pod taktirko gospodične La Trobe bolj ali manj uspešno izvajajo svoje vloge v čast in zabavo angleške visoke družbe. V odmorih, med dejanji, pa glavni protagonisti romana, člani družine Oliver ter njihova naključna gosta, radoživa gospa Manresa in njen mladi prijatelj razrešujejo svoje stiske in konflikte. V tem svojem zadnjem romanu, v katerem se prepletajo proza, poezija in dramatika, avtorica govori o ženski emancipaciji, ujetosti v zakonu in materinstvu, o starosti in minevanju, o homoseksualnosti, pa tudi o lepoti in večnosti narave in nas še poslednjič popelje v svoj domišljijsko bogat, prefinjen in nekovencionalen svet izjemne literarne ustvarjalnosti."@sl
