Whether you know them as CliffsNotes, SparkNotes or Shmoop, these seemingly ubiquitous guides are now, in many cases, free. Professors warn that these guides are no substitutes for reading great works of literature, but concede, grudgingly, that as an adjunct, they can stimulate thought and deepen insight. Carl Fisher, chairman of the comparative world literature and classics department at California State University, Long Beach, agreed to review the many offerings, starting with the oldest.
CliffsNotes guides cover not only literature, but also foreign languages, math, science, history and other topics, and many of the guides are free online. But more than are available online, and all can be viewed free.

CliffsNotes, owned by Wiley Publishing, also offers free podcasts called CramCasts , which are three- to five-minute overviews of books with a plot summary. But CliffsNotes lost points for some dated writing. It offers a library of guides, including literature, math, history and biology, all free on the Web. Shmoop , though, is the newcomer. It has been online for only 18 months. Guides on topics like civics and economics also are available. View all New York Times newsletters.

Mrs. Dalloway
Leonard bought the hand press in order to occupy Virginia's mind with something manual. During and , there was not a single month that she did not have reviews in The Times Literary Supplement and, of course, she was working on her second novel.
Leonard was fearful of another breakdown. But this creative tempo was typical of Virginia's output all during her life. She always tried to keep a flow of creative writing pouring during the mornings, then, during the afternoons and in odd hours, she would write critical essays as relief and as a different sort of mental discipline.
The Hogarth Press was begun in the Woolf's dining room, with the press on the table and Virginia and Leonard teaching themselves to print by the instructions in a page manual. Ten years later, the Press was recognized as an important publishing house and their publications' schedule was so full that the printing had to be jobbed out. Eliot including "Sweeney Among the Nightingales" and "Mr.

The Woolfs and Eliot were close friends and it was he who suggested that, since no other English publisher would touch it, the Hogarth Press publish a large, bulky manuscript by James Joyce. Virginia and Leonard agreed to consider the manuscript, and Eliot had a friend deliver a portion of Ulysses. Virginia read it and thought it was raw and not particularly well-written but she did recognize a strata of genius in it, so she and Leonard promised to publish it, provided they could find someone willing to set it up in print.
That was in ; in , they had to return the manuscript. All the printers they contacted were wary of the voluminous anomaly. The Woolfs lived in Hogarth House from to The Press was begun and became famous during the time WWI ran its course and ended. Night and Day appeared and received praise, but less than The Voyage Out; both books were financially unprofitable. In April , Virginia began Jacob's Room, her first masterpiece. The novel concerns Jacob Flanders, a man remembered first through one person's memory, then another's.
The viewpoint changes continually. It was Virginia's first successful attempt since Kew Gardens to fashion a multidimensional reality and to concoct a plot that abolished pat formulas for writing fiction. She was revealing many faces of reality when her contemporaries were insisting on a one-viewpoint, unified approach. Jacob's Room was not an easy book to write because Virginia had no models; she was creating a new medium of narration.
In addition, she was again suffering terrible headaches and insomnia and was required to spend much time in bed. She was diagnosed for lung trouble, then for heart trouble. Again the doctors suggested as they do for Septimus Smith in Mrs.

Dalloway that all she needed was rest and relaxation. When she was able, however, Virginia continued to write, using a large piece of plywood with an inkstand glued to it, filling self-bound notebooks with her almost indecipherable, sharp script. Jacob's Room was published in October, , and received fiercely partisan reviews; either the reviewers thought that the novel was a poetic, electric masterpiece or else they were shocked. Virginia Woolf, the latter clique said, had defied the form of the novel: she had gone too far!
They bemoaned the end of English literature. But Virginia was already working into Mrs. Dalloway first called The Hours and although she was upset by the bad reviews, she continued to unfold yet another impressionistically told story. Looking through her diary, one notices her excitement of being able to battle words and form and being able to do so without also having to battle mental fatigue and illness. At this time, Virginia was using the hours not spent with Mrs. Dalloway to write and assemble The Common Reader, a collection of essays about English literature.
And, while writing on these two projects during and , she was already planning her next novel, one to be written about her father and mother, To the Lighthouse. Dalloway, The Common Reader, and To the Lighthouse were all recognized as revolutionary, solid productions.
