| Summary: | Woolf honed her public voice in dialogue with contemporaries in and beyond Bloomsbury -- from John Maynard Keynes and Roger Fry to Sigmund Freud, Bertrand Russell, T. S. Eliot, E. M. Forster, and Katherine Mansfield -- and her works embody the convergence of aesthetics and politics in post-Enlightenment thought. Relating an ambitious history of Woolf's writings to currents in contemporary British intellectual life in the first half of the century, Christine Froula illuminates Woolf as a world figure whose art and public voice speak across cultures and languages "An ambitious account of her major writings in relation to important currents in British intellectual life in the first half of the twentieth century, this book explores Virginia Woolf's voyages, toward "new lands," "new civilisations" from her first novel, The Voyage Out, through her last, Between the Acts."--BOOK JACKET "An ambitious account of her major writings in relation to important currents in British intellectual life in the first half of the twentieth century, this book explores Virginia Woolf's voyages, toward "new lands," "new civilisations" from her first novel, The Voyage Out, through her last, Between the Acts."--Jacket |
