Between October and December 1932 Woolf wrote six essays and their accompanying fictional "extracts" for "The Pargiters". By February 1933, however, she jettisoned the theoretical framework of her "novel-essay" and began to rework the book solely as a fictional narrative, although Anna Snaith argued in her introduction to the Cambridge edition of the novel that "Her decision to cut the essays was not a rejection of the project's basis in non-fiction, but affirmation of its centrality to the project, and to her writing in general." Some of the conceptual material presented in "The Pargiters" eventually made its way into her non-fiction essay-letter, "Three Guineas" (1938). In 1977 a transcription of the original draft of six essays and extracts, together with the lecture that first inspired them, was edited by Mitchell Leaska and published under the title "The Pargiters".
