''Three Guineas'' is a book-length essay by Virginia Woolf, published in June 1938. ==Background==
Although ''Three Guineas'' is a work of non-fiction, it was initially conceived as a "novel-essay" which would tie up the loose ends left in her earlier work, ''A Room of One's Own''.〔For an account of the development of ''Three Guineas'' see Jean Guiguet, ''Virginia Woolf and her Works'' (London: Hogarth, 1965).〕 The book was to alternate between fictive narrative chapters and non-fiction essay chapters, demonstrating Woolf's views on war and women in both types of writing at once. This unfinished manuscript was published in 1937 as ''The Pargiters''. When Woolf realised the idea of a "novel-essay" wasn't working, she separated the two parts. The non-fiction portion became ''Three Guineas''. The fiction portion became Woolf's most popular novel during her lifetime, ''The Years'', which charts social change from 1880 to the time of publication through the lives of the Pargiter family. It was so popular, in fact, that pocket-sized editions of the novel were published for soldiers as leisure reading during World War II.
