The course offers an introduction to Virginia Woolf’s work. Woolf is a key figure in modernist literature with an impressive network of artistic, literary and intellectual friends. The course seeks to develop a deeper understanding of the formal innovations that characterize her work. It also explores how these innovations relate to the First World War and to intellectual developments and the new media of the turn of the twentieth century. We will read some of Woolf’s short stories and essays, amongst them a key work of feminist criticism: A Room Of One‘s Own (1929). We will also discuss To the Lighthouse (1927) and, perhaps, Mrs Dalloway (1925).
We will use the following editions:
To the Lighthouse, ed. Stella McNichol and Hermione Lee, Penguin Modern Classics, 2000.
A Room of One’s Own/Three Guineas, Penguin Modern Classics, 2000. |
