Among the many roles of the Miscellany, this role-elegizing members of the community-I think among its most important and representative. "The IVWS dinner at the MLA" lingers perhaps a little too ...long over the buffet at Eileen Barrett's house: "The tables were decked with grilled vegetables, olives, hummus and Baba Ghanoush, fruit and cheese, pita wraps, brownies, baklava, and local wine."

Abstract This study examines landscape and visual perspectives that ensue from portraits in Virginia Woolf's 1927 To the Lighthouse and José Donoso's 1957 Coronación. Hermione Lee sostiene que Al ...faro es una elegía por la pérdida de los padres y, de modo secundario, "... una obra sobre la estructura de clases y su escisión de la época victoriana después de la Primera Guerra Mundial" (ix).2 Woolf es parte de esta "ambigüedad social", que alienta sus "maquinarias literarias, dándole a esa fisura una validez atemporal y universal" (Donoso, Conjeturas 18). Sebastián Schoennenbeck destaca su importancia en Coronación, reflejo de un orden familiar, como así mismo el patio que, "si bien cuenta con ornamentación vegetal, figura como una versión degradada del jardín" (129). Barajando ideas para Coronación en 1954, planea, "... antes de cada parte, poner una introducción en cursiva tipo Virginia Woolf con una descripción poética-realista de la ciudad de Santiago" (Diarios tempranos 332).
Virginia Woolf's discovery as a novelist-how to convey the inner reality of experience-is set forth for the first time by Harvena Richter. A voyage "inward" to Mrs. Woolf's subjective methods, Miss ...Richter's study furthers our understanding of her novels, especiallyThe WavesandThe Years, and reveals a new, vital, completely contemporary Virginia Woolf.

En realidad, me tomaría un daiquiri en El Floridita o un mojito en La Bodeguita con Ernest Hemingway. ¿Nos imaginan sentados en la barra, al genio y a mí, casi como una groupie literaria? En ...síntesis, en ella Hemingway nos da la clave de lectura de sus propias obras: en la superficie del texto solo se halla presente la punta del iceberg, mientras que el mayor porcentaje de la historia se halla oculto y debe ser descubierto por el lector, a partir de lo efectivamente leído. La mujer ve por la ventana un gato o una gata -el neutro del inglés no nos permite definir un género para este pequeño e indefenso animal, aunque probablemente sea gata y la dama se identifique con ella- bajo la lluvia y quiere rescatarlo. Uno de los ejemplos de mayor estruendo es su último capítulo, cuando cede la voz a los pensamientos de Molly Bloom: explotan el lenguaje y sus normas, explotan los significados, explotan los prejuicios de género.
Virginia Woolf, throughout her career as a novelist and critic, deliberately framed herself as a modern writer invested in literary tradition but not bound to its conventions; engaged with politics ...but not a propagandist; a woman of letters but not a "lady novelist." As a result, Woolf ignored or disparaged most of the women writers of her parents' generation, leading feminist critics to position her primarily as a forward-thinking modernist who rejected a stultifying Victorian past. In Behind the Times, Mary Jean Corbett finds that Woolf did not dismiss this history as much as she boldly rewrote it. Exploring the connections between Woolf's immediate and extended family and the broader contexts of late-Victorian literary and political culture, Corbett emphasizes the ongoing significance of the previous generation's concerns and controversies to Woolf's considerable achievements. Behind the Times rereads and revises Woolf's creative works, politics, and criticism in relation to women writers including the New Woman novelist Sarah Grand, the novelist and playwright, Lucy Clifford; the novelist and anti-suffragist, Mary Augusta Ward. It explores Woolf's attitudes to late-Victorian women's philanthropy, the social purity movement, and women's suffrage. Closely tracking the ways in which Woolf both followed and departed from these predecessors, Corbett complicates Woolf's identity as a modernist, her navigation of the literary marketplace, her ambivalence about literary professionalism and the mixing of art and politics, and the emergence of feminism as a persistent concern of her work.
The pleasure and excitement of exploring Virginia Woolfs writings is at the heart of this book as Julia Briggs reconsiders Woolfs work - from some of her earliest fictional experiments to her late ...short story The Symbol and from the most to the least familiar of her novels.
Through close readings of Woolf's essays, including 'Montaigne', A Room of One's Own, 'Craftsmanship', Three Guineas, and 'Thoughts on Peace in an Air Raid', Allen shows how Woolf's politics, ...expressed and enacted by her writings, are relevant to our current political situation.
Before the Second World War and long before the second wave of feminism, Virginia Woolf argued that women's experience, particularly in the women's movement, could be the basis for transformative ...social change. Grounding Virginia Woolf's feminist beliefs in the everyday world, Naomi Black reclaims Three Guineas as a major feminist document. Rather than a book only about war, Black considers it to be the best, clearest presentation of Woolf's feminism. Woolf's changing representation of feminism in publications from 1920 to 1940 parallels her involvement with the contemporary women's movement (suffragism and its descendants, and the pacifist, working-class Women's Co-operative Guild). Black guides us through Woolf's feminist connections and writings, including her public letters from the 1920s as well as A Society, A Room of One's Own , and the introductory letter to Life As We Have Known It . She assesses the lengthy development of Three Guineas from a 1931 lecture and the way in which the form and illustrations of the book serve as a feminist subversion of male scholarship. Virginia Woolf as Feminist concludes with a discussion of the continuing relevance of Woolf's feminism for third-millennium politics.
