Book excerpt: Virginia Woolf's playful exploration of a satirical »Oxbridge« became one of the world's most groundbreaking writings on women, writing, fiction, and gender. A Room of One's Own [1929] can be read as one or as six different essays, narrated from an intimate first-person perspective. Actual history blends with narrative and memoir. But perhaps most revolutionary was its address: the book is written by a woman for women. Male readers are compelled to read through women's eyes in a total inversion of the traditional male gaze. VIRGINIA WOOLF [1882–1941] was an English author. With novels like Jacob’s Room [1922], Mrs Dalloway [1925], To the Lighthouse [1927], and Orlando [1928], she became a leading figure of modernism and is considered one of the most important English-language authors of the 20th century. As a thinker, with essays like A Room of One’s Own [1929], Woolf has influenced the women’s movement in many countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Frankfurt (Main) (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Modernism in Focus: Virginia Woolf, language: English, abstract: Virginia Woolf is one of the most discussed writers, because she created stories with a critical eye, always keeping in mind the challenges of being a female in the twentieth century. The fictional biography guides the reader through the protagonist’s daily life, while simultaneously showing that his life is not daily at all. The author provided a balance within Orlando’s nature by creating a character the reader can, on one hand, relate to, but who, on the other hand, is special and therefore appears different. With contacts to the Bloomsbury Group, Woolf had the possibility to write her critical and controversial works in an encouraging environment.

Book excerpt: In Virginia Woolf's masterpiece The Years, we are invited on a journey through the labyrinths of time and the ever-changing landscapes of human existence. With her unique and experimental prose, Woolf creates a poignant portrayal of life's passage, its fleeting moments, and the eternal quest for meaning and understanding. Through a kaleidoscopic narrative style and a stream of consciousness, the author weaves together the story of multiple generations of a family, from late 19th-century England to the modern 20th century. On this journey, we witness the characters' love, sorrow, joy, and doubt, while Woolf skillfully explores themes of time, identity, and the role of women in society. The Years is a deeply philosophical and poetic novel that envelops the reader with its lyrical beauty and thought-provoking reflections. With her sharp observations and pioneering style, Virginia Woolf has crafted a masterpiece that continues to fascinate and challenge generations of readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virginia Woolf came to believe that the highest forms of artistic creation are preceded by a merging of the sexes, a form of psychic intercourse, which takes place within the mind of the artist. If this fusion does not take place, the vision or integrity of the finished work of art becomes blurred by a detachable philosophy, directly attributable to the sex of the artist. For the female novelist, struggling into articulation in a literary world dominated by the male, the difficulties of attaining such an integrity are understandably pronounced. Virginia Woolf's androgynous quest is therefore examined on both the personal and artistic levels to show how the successful sexual syntheses partly vitiate the charges of obtrusive feminism and Bloomsbury aestheticism. The first chapter, by exposing the polarities in Virginia Woolf's creation of character - the rational, egocentric male and the intuitive, integrating female - ominously suggests that the intelligent daughter of Leslie Stephen cannot pretend to treat men and ,women objectively. Yet the separate analyses of the sexes are not marked by a uniform denigration of the patriarch and consistent deification of the matriarch, so attention must be shifted to those works which are specifically concerned with the androgynous ideal. The companion pieces, A Room of One's Own and Orlando, in their mingling of self-confession, literary criticism, history, satire and fantasy, are curiously unsatisfying. The special pleading of the manifesto colours the fantasy, so that Orlando* s final statement is more feminist than androgynous. The same conflict of interest between a persistent practical feminism and androgynous idealism is responsible for anomalies in Virginia Woolf's literary criticism. Although Orlando shares a structural weakness with The Years, made necessary by their heroines' moments of androgynous vision, there remains a case for considering Eleanor's sociological androgyny as a more viable achievement. Her fusion of the public and private life, the social and solitary selves, acts as a convincing antecedent to the achievement of the epicene Bernard. Within the context of Virginia Woolf's vein of lyricism, the third chapter examines recurring images and patterns of symbols which become poetic vehicles for the androgynous vision. The search is for correlatives in the physical world which will structurally combine the opposing elements of intellect and intuition, the male and the female. The centrally significant symbol is that of the lighthouse, which, in its physical proportions, combines masculine substructure and feminine light. Again, Lily Briscoe's painting represents the achievement of both personal and artistic androgyny. The painting is completed only when she feels a potent need for both Ramsays, and consequently reconciles the male and female aspects of her own personality. Finally, in making the novelist, Bernard, the spokesman and composite of the other selves, Virginia Woolf has made The Waves her fullest statement of the androgynous theory of writing, as well as illustrating a personal philosophy of life. Bernard celebrates the ideal of the integrated artistic personality, where ratiocination and intuition are harmoniously combined. However, since Virginia Woolf's final artist-figure, Miss La Trobe, is signally unsuccessful in repeating Bernard's achievement, the question of Virginia Woolf's personal androgyny remains conjectural.
Download or read book Virginia Woolf and the Aesthetics of Vision written by Claudia Olk and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-08-19 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The category of vision is significant for Modernist texts as well as for the unfolding discourse of Modernism itself. Within the general Modernist fascination with the artistic and experimental possibilities of vision and perception this study looks at Virginia Woolf’s novels and her critical writings and examines the relation between visuality and aesthetics. An aesthetics of vision, as this study argues, becomes a productive principle of narrative. The visual is not only pertinent to Woolf’s processes of composition, but her works create a kind of vision that is proper to the text itself – a vision that reflects on the experience of seeing and renegotiates the relation between the reader and the text. The study investigates key dimensions of aesthetic vision. It addresses vision in the context of theories of aesthetic experience and identifies a semantics of seeing. It analyses functions of symbolic materiality in the presentation of boundaries of perception, modes of temporality and poetic potentialities. In exploring the connections between vision and language, it seeks to provide new perspectives for a reassessment of what occurs in Modernism's relation to vision.
