Woolf had read the letters and poems that Browning had written about her dog, Flush. Woolf decided that he would be an interesting subject for a biography and although it is narrated in the third person, the book is written mainly from the perspective of the dog. As Virginia Woolf implied to a friend, "Flush" was really her dog, "Pinker," who she used as a model for the red cocker. The book begins with a brief history of the cocker spaniel. The breed originated from Spain years before it was imported to England. Flush began his life on a country farm called "Three Mile Cross." He loved to run free in the fields and chase rabbits and birds. But this all changed when his mistress gave him to an invalid friend of hers, the famous poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

Autorenporträt
Virginia Woolf was a luminous novelist, a prolific essayist and book reviewer, and a diarist. With her husband Leonard, Woolf established and ran the Hogarth Press which published works by influential modernist writers. In their first five years, they published Katherine Mansfield, T. S. Eliot, E. M. Forster, Clive Bell, Roger Fry and Sigmund Freud. Woolf's haunting writing, her succinct insights into feminist, artistic, historical, political issues, and her revolutionary experiments with points of view and stream-of-consciousness altered the course of literature.
