Virginia Woolf / By Claudia Roth Pierpont The Voyage In Forums: Your comments on Virginia Woolf are welcome in the Women as Icons forums. Yahoo's listings for Virginia Woolf he literary critic Queenie Leavis, who had been born into the British lower middle class and reared three children while writing and editing and teaching, thought Virginia Woolf a preposterous representative of real women's lives: "There is no reason to suppose Mrs. Woolf would know which end of the cradle to stir." Yet no one was more aware of the price of unworldliness than Virginia Woolf. Her imaginative voyages into the waveringly lighted depths of "Mrs. Dalloway" and "To the Lighthouse" were partly owed to a freedom from the literal daily need of voyaging out - to the shop or the office or even the nursery. Her husband, Leonard Woolf, believed that without the aid of her inheritance his wife would probably not have written a novel at all. Virginia Woolf Credit: The New York Times For money guaranteed not just time but intellectual liberty. "I'm the only woman in England free to write what I like," she exulted in her diary in 1925, after the publication of "Mrs. Dalloway" by the Hogarth Press, which she and Leonard had set up to free her from the demands of publishers and editors. What she liked to write turned out to be, of course, books that gave voice to much that had gone unheard in the previous history of writing things down: the dartings and weavings of the human mind in the fleet elaborations of thought itself.

Literature Virginia Woolf Virginia Woolf was born in London as the daughter of Julia Jackson Duckworth, a member of the Duckworth publishing family, and Leslie Stephen, a literary critic and friend of Meredith, Henry James, Tennyson, Matthew Arnold, and George Eliot, and the founder of the Dictionary of National Biography . Leslie Stephen's first wife had been the daughter of the novelist William Makepeace Thackeray. His daughter Laura from his first marriage was institutionalized because of mental retardation. In a memoir dated 1907, Virginia wrote of her parents, "Beautiful often, even to our eyes, were their gestures, their glances of pure and unutterable delight in each other." Woolf was educated at home by her father and grew up at the family home at Hyde Park Gate. In middle age she described this period in a letter to Vita Sackville-West: "Think how I was brought up! No school; mooning about alone among my father's books; never any chance to pick up all that goes on in schools—throwing balls; ragging; slang; vulgarities; scenes; jealousies!" Woolf's youth was shadowed by series of emotional shocks - her half-brother, Gerald Duckworth, sexually abused her, and her mother died when she was in her early teens. Stella Duckworth, her half sister, took her mother's place, but died a scant two years later. Leslie Stephen, her father, suffered a slow death from cancer. When her brother Toby died in 1906, Virginia had a prolonged mental breakdown.

Teacher Cyberguide The Life and Works of Virginia Woolf Cyberguide by Barbara Garrison http://www.sdcoe.k12.ca.us/score/woolf/woolftg.html Introduction Virginia Woolf was a major British novelist, essayist and critic. She was one of the leaders in the literary movement called modernism. This elite group also included Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot. Over 50 years after her death, the writings of Virginia Woolf are a source of continuing power and ever-increasing influence as Woolf has achieved a stature of international prominence. Her most famous novel, To the Lighthouse , examines the life of an upper middle class British family. It portrays the fragility of human relationships and the changing social values at the turn of the century. Her feminist ideas are expressed in essays such as "A Room of One's Own." She kept an extensive diary, wrote numerous literary reviews and hundreds of letters to friends and acquaintances in her lifetime. This supplemental author unit on the life and work of Virginia Woolf was developed as part of the Schools of California Online Resources for Educators (SCORE) Project, funded by the California Technology Assistance Progam (CTAP) and the California County Superintendents Educational Services Association (CCSESA).

(1966), a famous and shocking black comedy, was based on Edward Albee's scandalous play (Ernest Lehman's screenplay left the dialogue of the play virtually intact). It was first performed in New York in October of 1962, and it captured the New York Drama Critics Circle Award and the Tony Award for the 1962-63 season. The film's title refers to Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), an influential British feminist writer who pioneered the 'stream of consciousness' literary style while examining the psychological and emotional motives of her characters. [Perhaps the 'fear' of VW refers to the film's characters who are suffering marital discord in the emotionally-draining film, and who may have 'known' that she suffered from mental illness and ultimately went insane and committed suicide.] The title is also a parody of Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

34. Similarities Between Virginia Woolf And Doris Lessing. By Lynda Scott. virginia woolf A Collection of Critical Essays (Englewood Cliffs, New York A Simon and Schuster PrenticeHall Inc. Company, 1993) 4. http://www.otago.ac.nz/DeepSouth/vol3no2/scott.html

Similarities Between Virginia Woolf and Doris Lessing Lynda Scott University of Otago Department of English lynda.scott@stonebow.otago.ac.nz Deep South v.3 n.2 (Winter 1997) Many critics such as Roberta Rubenstein, Magali Cornier Michael, and Claire Sprague, point out the numerous similarities which exist between Woolf and Lessing, and of course Lessing does deliberately invoke Woolf in The Golden Notebook by naming her woman artist Anna Wulf. In this paper, however, I will focus on what I consider to be the strongest and most interesting common point of reference between the two. This is their common distrust of, yet fascination with, the workings of memory, as well as the construction of a personal sense of selfhood, one which develops from an amalgam of 'fact' and 'fiction,' 'actuality' and a sense of a personal 'truth.' Both writers, I believe, use their 'self-representational' or 'autobiographical' texts as the therapeutic means of 'Self'-discovery, to exorcise past unpleasantness, to 'fix' the past, and to create a significant personal present and a sense of 'truth.' I shall discuss first the ways in which both Woolf and Lessing juxtapose 'fact' with 'fiction' in order to create a meaningful sense of 'Self.' Alongside this discussion I shall examine some of the implications of the creation of 'fictive selves' through self-representational writing for Woolf and Lessing. My approach, which concentrates on the unreliability of memory as Woolf and Lessing perceived it, necessarily involves a consideration of historiographic metafiction.

Although she received no formal schooling, exposure to her father's vast library, coupled with an innate ability to craft language and a vast energy, fueled Virginia's ambition to write from an early age. With the death of her mother in 1895, Virginia experienced her first nervous breakdown at the age of 13.

"George Eliot" by Virginia Woolf George Eliot was the pseudonym of novelist, translator, and religious writer Mary Ann Evans (1819-1880). This article by Virginia Woolf was first published in The Times Literary Supplement , 20th November, 1919. To read George Eliot attentively is to become aware how little one knows about her. It is also to become aware of the credulity, not very creditable to one's insight, with which, half consciously and partly maliciously, one had accepted the late Victorian version of a deluded woman who held phantom sway over subjects even more deluded than herself. At what moment and by what means her spell was broken it is difficult to ascertain. Some people attribute it to the publication of her Life. Indeed, one cannot escape the conviction that the long, heavy face with its expression of serious and sullen and almost equine power has stamped itself depressingly upon the minds of people who remember George Eliot, so that it looks out upon them from her pages. Mr Gosse has lately described her as he saw her driving through London in a victoria: a large, thick-set sybil, dreamy and immobile, whose massive features, somewhat grim when seen in profile, were incongruously bordered by a hat, always in the height of Paris fashion, which in those days commonly included an immense ostrich feather.

VIRGINIA WOOLF'S LONDON By Marylin Bender WALK 1: Kensington SW7 WALK 2: Bloomsbury WC1 WALK 3: In the Steps of Mrs. Dalloway Excursions Beyond London: Virginia Woolf in the Country To the Suburbs: Richmond Bibliography [D v.3, 3/28/30] Virginia Woolf navigated London preferably on foot, often from the upper deck of a bus and only when pressed for time, by the efficient underground. She took long walks along the Thames and hiked from respectable west to shabby east, from her home in Bloomsbury to The Tower of London. Like Martin Partiger in The Years , she might pause midway to admire St. Paul's Cathedral. He crossed over and stood with his back against a shop window looking up at the great dome. All the weights in his body seemed to shift. He had a curious sense of something moving in his body in harmony with the building; it righted itself: it came to a full stop. It was exciting-this change of proportion. [TY 1914] Virginia Woolf was an ardent walker and, as though London were her living room, she undertook serious conversations with friends while they were outdoors. She and her characters walked and talked, sat and talked in the parks and squares that afford London its breathtaking green relief. She gossiped with John Maynard Keynes in Gordon Square Garden, with Clive Bell in the Green Park and with Aldous Huxley in Kew Gardens. The reader meets Jacob Flanders in Jacob's Room discussing architecture and jurisprudence under a plane tree in Hyde Park. In
