A Room of One's Own: The Virginia Woolf Library Authorized Edition

A Room of One's Own: The Virginia Woolf Library Authorized Edition

Virginia Woolf

Mariner Books Classics
1989
nidottu
"I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman." In A Room of One's Own, Virginia Woolf imagines that Shakespeare had a sister--a sister equal to Shakespeare in talent, and equal in genius, but whose legacy is radically different. This imaginary woman never writes a word and dies by her own hand, her genius unexpressed. If only she had found the means to create, argues Woolf, she would have reached the same heights as her immortal sibling. In this classic essay, Woolf takes on the establishment, using her gift of language to dissect the world around her and give voice to those who are without. Her message is a simple one: women must have a steady income and a room of their own in order to have the freedom to create. With a Foreword by Mary Gordon

Eric Warner places The Waves in the context of Virginia Woolf's career and of the 'modern' age in which it was written. He examines how she came to write the novel, what her concerns were at the time, and how it is linked both in style and theme with her earlier, more accessible works. A final chapter explores the problematic relation of the book to the genre of the novel.

Collected in this seven hundred plus page Super Pack omnibus edition are two complete novels and three short stories showcase Virginia Woolf's masterful ability to blend psychological depth with social commentary, making them essential reads for anyone interested in modernist literature.Virginia Woolf's debut novel, The Voyage Out, is a rich exploration of self-discovery and the complexities of human relationships set against the backdrop of a voyage to South America. The story follows Rachel Vinrace, a young woman embarking on a journey that is both literal and metaphorical. As she travels with her father and a group of eclectic characters, Rachel grapples with her identity, societal expectations, and the constraints of her upbringing. Woolf's lyrical prose captures the beauty of the natural world and the intricacies of the human psyche, inviting readers to reflect on the transformative power of travel and the quest for personal freedom. The novel intricately weaves themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning, ultimately culminating in a poignant exploration of life's uncertainties.In Night and Day, Virginia Woolf delves into the lives of two women, Katharine Hilbery and Mary Datchet, as they navigate the complexities of love, ambition, and societal roles in early 20th-century England. The novel contrasts the inner lives of its characters with the external pressures of their environment, exploring the tension between personal desires and societal expectations. Katharine, a poet caught between her literary aspirations and the expectations of marriage, and Mary, a suffragist dedicated to social change, embody the struggles of women seeking autonomy in a patriarchal society. Woolf's innovative narrative style, characterized by stream-of-consciousness techniques, allows readers to intimately experience the characters' thoughts and emotions. Night and Day is a profound meditation on the nature of relationships, the pursuit of individuality, and the interplay between night and day as metaphors for the dualities of life.

Adeline Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was an English writer. She is widely hailed as being among the most influential modernist authors of the 20th century and a pioneer of stream of consciousness narration. Woolf was a central figure in the feminist criticism movement of the 1970s, her works having inspired countless women to take up the cause. She suffered numerous nervous breakdowns during her life primarily as a result of the deaths of family members, and it is now believed that she may have suffered from bipolar disorder. In 1941, Woolf drowned herself in the River Ouse at Lewes, aged 59.
