Based on the holograph manuscript in the Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Collection of English and American Literature at the New York Public library, this transcription follows the original three-volume manuscript page for page and line for line, giving the reader a sense of how Jacob's Room was truly a work in progress. Written between 1920 and 1922, Jacob's Room was a literary experiment for Woolf, leaving behind the traditional forms of her previous novels, The Voyage Out and Night and Day. Included in Bishop's text are the short sketches that Virginia Woolf included in volume II of the manuscript. Spelling and punctuation has not been corrected or normalized to maintain continuity with the original manuscript.

A part of the Underground Railroad, read here of enslaved people and their stories of using Virginia's waterways to achieve freedom.Enslaved Virginians sought freedom from the time they were first brought to the Jamestown colony in 1619. Acts of self-emancipation were aided by Virginia's waterways, which became part of the network of the Underground Railroad in the years before the Civil War. Watermen willing to help escaped slaves made eighteenth-century Norfolk a haven for freedom seekers. Famous nineteenth-century escapees like Shadrack Minkins and Henry Box Brown were aided by the Underground Railroad. Enslaved men like Henry Lewey, known as Bluebeard, aided freedom seekers as conductors, and black and white sympathizers acted as station masters. Historian Cassandra Newby-Alexander narrates the ways that enslaved people used Virginia's waterways to achieve humanity's dream of freedom.
Il titolo del libro "L'albero delle parole" trova spiegazione nel suo frequente riferimento al mondo della natura con le sue ampie distese e dai mille colori, raggiungenti la profondit del nostro cuore. Si creano cos emozioni che, mettendo in movimento una rete di ricordi straordinari, ove la fantasia concede alla mente di raggiungere dimensioni incredibili, per un attimo, la realt viene superata verso la conquista di una gioia ineffabile, oltre le cose In questo procedere, l'albero rappresenta la nostra vita, proiettata verso l'alto, verso l'ignoto perch , sfidando ogni ostacolo, riesce a raggiungere delle vette vertiginose. Ed simbolicamente da quel senso di infinito, a cui ci spinge lo sguardo, che attingiamo quelle parole, intensamente rarefatte, sostenenti le nostre radici in un processo che si sposa con l'infinito.
