The Tenant of Wildfell Hall; Including Introductory Essays by Virginia Woolf, Charlotte Brontë and Clement K. Shorter
"The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" a novel by English author Anne Bront . Her second and last novel, it is presented in the form of a series of letters from one Gilbert Markham to his friend and brother-in-law about how he met his wife. An enigmatic young widow arrives at the uninhabited Elizabethan mansion called Wildfell Hall. After taking up residence there in a hermit-like manner, she becomes the victim of terrible slander. She is befriended by a local man who is sceptical of the local and who gradually comes to learn of her tragic past. Among the most disturbing and shocking of the novels published by the Bront s family, it enjoyed incredible success-despite her sister Charlotte's preventing its re-publication after her death. "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" constitutes a must-read for lovers of classic English literature and it is not to be missed by those who have read and enjoyed other works by the Bront sisters. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

Religion, Secularism, and the Spiritual Paths of Virginia Woolf
Religion, Secularism, and the Spiritual Paths of Virginia Woolf offers an expansive interdisciplinary study of spirituality in Virginia Woolf's writing, drawing on theology, psychology, geography, history, gender and sexuality studies, and other critical fields. The essays in this collection interrogate conventional approaches to the spiritual, and to Woolf’s work, while contributing to a larger critical reappraisal of modernism, religion, and secularism. While Woolf’s atheism and her sharp criticism of religion have become critical commonplaces, her sometimes withering critique of religion conflicts with what might well be called a religious sensibility in her work. The essays collected here take up a challenge posed by Woolf herself: how to understand her persistent use of religious language, her representation of deeply mysterious human experiences, and her recurrent questions about life's meaning in light of her disparaging attitude toward religion. Theseessays argue that Woolf's writing reframes and reclaims the spiritual in alternate forms; she strives to find new language for those numinous experiences that remain after the death of God has been pronounced.

Das Literarische Leitmotiv Und Seine Funktionen in Romanen Von Aldous Huxley, Virginia Woolf Und James Joyce
Ziel der vorliegenden Analyse literarischer Leitmotive in Romanen von drei der bedeutendsten Autoren des 20. Jahrhunderts ist die Etablierung des Leitmotivbegriffes als ein aussagefahiger, integraler Bestandteil des literaturwissenschaftlichen Instrumentariums. Im Vordergrund steht dabei die Frage nach den Funktionen der Leitmotive in so unterschiedlichen Bereichen wie Charakterisierung, Zeit, Erzahltechnik, Thematik und Struktur. Aufgrund seiner funktionalen Vielseitigkeit ermoglicht das Leitmotiv grundlegende Einsichten in die Romankonzeptionen von Aldous Huxley, Virginia Woolf und James Joyce."
Ein Vergleich der Darstellung der Mutter in Maya Angelous' "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" und Virginia Woolfs "A Sketch of the Past"
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Literatur, Note: 1.0, Ruhr-Universit t Bochum (Englisches Seminar), Veranstaltung: Women and Autobiography, 9 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Hausarbeit besch ftigt sich mit der Rolle der Mutter in den Autobiografien "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" von Maya Angelou und Virginia Woolfs "A Sketch of the Past". Auf den ersten Blick erscheint ein Vergleich der M tter dieser Autorinnen bzw. deren Darstellung weit hergeholt, ein zweiter Blick zeigt jedoch viele Gemeinsamkeiten in den Lebensl ufen der Autorinnen. Woolf wurde am 25. Januar 1882 im viktorianischen London geboren und wuchs in einem "upper-middle-class" Haushalt auf. Sie lebte zusammen mit ihren Eltern und sieben Geschwistern. Die Mutter, Julia Stephens, verstarb als Virginia Woolf 13 Jahre alt war. Maya Angelou, geboren am 4. April 1928 in St. Louis, Missouri, hingegen verbrachte den Gro teil ihrer Kindheit zusammen mit ihrem Bruder Bailey in Stamps, Arkansas, bei der Gro mutter v terlicherseits. Bei der Mutter, Vivian Baxter, lebte sie nur bis zu ihrem dritten Lebensjahr und dann wieder eine kurze Zeit, als sie acht Jahre alt war. Erst mit 13 kehrt Maya Angelou zu Vivian Baxter zur ck, um bei ihr zu leben. Beide Autorinnen berichten von der auffallenden Sch nheit ihrer Mutter, haben selbst Probleme den eigenen K rper anzunehmen und beide finden gro en Halt durch ihre Geschwister, Woolf in Person ihrer Schwester Vanessa, Angelou bei ihrem Bruder Bailey. Au erdem wurden beide als Kinder Opfer von sexuellem Missbrauch, innerhalb der Familie. Daher ist ein Vergleich der Mutterdarstellung interessant, denn so verschieden auch die Lebensumst nde beider sind, so hnlich sind doch einzelne Lebensgef hle. Im Laufe der beiden Texte vollzieht sich eine Ver nderung in der Darstellung der Mutter. Meine These ist hierbei, dass die Darstellung der Mutter sich gegens tzlich entwickelt. Diese These soll in der Hausarb
Food and Culture in the Works of Ford Madox Ford, Gertrude Stein, and Virginia Woolf
Writing about food has long been a part of autobiographical expression that combines culinary record-keeping and histories, drawing on the personal and the cultural. Concentrating on the transatlantic work of Ford Madox Ford, Gertrude Stein, and Virginia Woolf, this book illuminates modernist uses of the terms 'civilization' and 'barbarism', showing how these concepts are shaped by the rules of preparing and eating food in literature and in public. Nanette O'Brien introduces the concept of 'culinary Impressionism' as an extension and repositioning of current scholarly thinking about Ford's literary Impressionism and his synesthetic writing about cookery and small farming. She also presents a new reading of Stein's crafting of her modernist authority as interlinked with her cooks, and shows Stein's and Toklas's jointly authored unpublished cookbook draft as evidence of their direct authorial collaboration and of Stein adapting domestic culinary techniques into her other writing. O'Brien goes on to present new archival research demonstrating that Virginia Woolf's representation of the financial and culinary difference between men's and women's dining in colleges at the University of Cambridge is justified and the material inequality was in fact worse than previously understood. This disparity in institutional food intensifies Woolf's later reimagining of the term 'civilization'. While drawing on themes of modernism and life-writing, the everyday, domestic life and gender, the book argues that food is a vehicle for positive modernist re-conceptions of civilization.
Modernist Myth: Studies in H.D., D.H. Lawrence, and Virginia Woolf
The writers in this study were living at the edge of change, in a world severely rocked by world conflict - a 'maelstrom' of upheaval of values, of community standards, and of philosophical visions. Their task was to "give [themselves and others] the power to change the world that is changing them, to make their way through the maelstrom and make it their own." Their response was not to embrace the chaos, but to move through it and re-establish limits in the broader beyond.
A Secret Sisterhood: The Literary Friendships of Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, George Eliot, and Virginia Woolf
Male literary friendships are the stuff of legend, but what about the friendships of women writers? A Secret Sisterhood, drawing on letters and diaries, some never published before, brings to light a wealth of surprising female collaborations: the friendship between Jane Austen and one of the family servants, amateur playwright Anne Sharp; the daring feminist author Mary Taylor, who shaped the work of Charlotte Bront ; the transatlantic friendship of the seemingly aloof George Eliot and the ebullient Harriet Beecher Stowe; and Virginia Woolf and Katherine Mansfield, most often portrayed as bitter foes, but who, in fact, enjoyed a complex friendship. They were sometimes scandalous and volatile, sometimes supportive and inspiring, but always--until now--tantalizingly consigned to the shadows.
