Aesthetics and Ideology of D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, and T. S. Eliot
Scrutinizing the aesthetic and ideological in the works by Lawrence, Woolf, and Eliot, this book gives a different perspective on Modernism and what are considered to be its principal features. In that respect, fragmentation, disunity, relativity of things, break with tradition, as well as the depiction of life’s disorder, are disputed and seen as aesthetic means for the promotion of certain ideologies. Aesthetics and Ideology of D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, and T. S. Eliot offers a smooth transition from general discussion and revision of some fixed concepts related to Modernism, through individual authors and their major works to the conclusion where the main findings are summarized and further explicated. Apart from dealing with Modernism in general, Aesthetics and Ideology of D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf and T. S. Eliot presents a somewhat different view on the authors it deals with. They are not only seen as opponents of established religious, political, and social views, but to a certain extent as their perpetrators. This duality concerning their stances is reconciled by their insisting on the aesthetic unity.

Narcissistic Mothers in Modernist Literature – New Perspectives on Motherhood in the Works of D.H. Lawrence, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and Jean Rh
Narcissistic mothers are an important motif in modernist literature. Tracing its appearance in the works of writers such as D.H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf, this book questions the dichotomous image of either benevolent or suffocating mother, which has pervaded religion, art and literature for centuries. Instead of focusing on the mother-child dyad as characterized primarily by maternal domination and the child' s submission, Marie Géraldine Rademacher insists on the definitional nuances of the term »narcissism« and considers the political and socio-economic context of the time in shaping these women's narcissistic behavior. The study thus inspires a more positive (re)reading of the protagonists.
Sakernas sammanhang : om ting, människor och materiella relationer hos Henry Parland, James Joyce och Virginia Woolf
Tingen är del av vårt vardagliga liv, men vi tänker sällan på det faktum att de också har en spretig historia som går bortanför de betydelser och funktioner som vi tilldelar dem. I Sakernas s­ammanhang undersöker Ellen Frödin tre litterära texter från 1900-talets början som alla ger särskilt utrymme åt ting och deras materiella relationer, samtidigt som människor decentraliseras. Med hjälp av nymaterialistisk och process­orienterad teori analyseras diktsamlingen Idealrealisation av Henry Parland, kapitlet ”Ithaca” i Ulysses av James Joyce och romanen Jacob’s Room av Virginia Woolf. Sättet dessa texter skriver fram människan som del av ”sakernas sammanhang”, för att använda Parlands uttryck, formar sig till en kritik både av litteraturens upptagenhet av människor och mänsklig handling och av en traditionell västerländsk förståelse av människans centrala plats i världen.

" Ruhl's "Orlando"] captures both the intellectual spirit and the literary brilliance of Woolf's work. . . . Ruhl writes with the imaginative sweep that allows Woolf's poetry to soar."--"Variety""Sarah Ruhl's smart new translation of "Three Sisters"] feels just right to contemporary American ears--lean, colloquial, and conversational for us and true to Chekhov's original work."--"The Cincinnati Enquirer"In her stage adaptation of Virginia Woolf's gender-bending, period-hopping novel, award-winning playwright Sarah Ruhl "is her usual unfailingly elegant, unbeatably witty self, cleverly braiding her own brand-name wit with Woolf's" ("New York ")magazine. Preserving Woolf's vital ideas and lyrical tone, Ruhl brings to the stage the life of an Elizabethan nobleman who's magically transformed into an immortal woman. In her fresh translation of "Three Sisters," the Anton Chekhov classic of ennui and frustration, Ruhl employs her signature lyricism and elegant understanding of intimacy to reveal the discontent felt by fretful Olga, unhappy Masha, and idealistic Irina as they long to leave rural Russia for the ever-alluring Moscow.Sarah Ruhl's other plays include the Pulitzer Prize finalists "In the Next Room (or the vibrator play)" and "The Clean House," as well as "Passion Play," "Dean Man's Cell Phone," "Demeter in the City," "Eurydice," "Melancholy Play," and "Late: a cowboy song." She is the recipient of a Whiting Writers' Award, a PEN/Laura Pels Award, and a MacArthur Fellowship. Her plays have premiered on Broadway, Off-Broadway, and in many theaters around the world.
