Genius and Ink: Virginia Woolf on How to Read

Author Virginia Woolf
Rating
Price1295

In the early years of its existence, the Times Literary Supplement published some of the finest writers in English: T. S. Eliot, Henry James and E. M. Forster among them. But one of the paperâ€™s defining voices was Virginia Woolf, who produced a string of superb essays between the two World Wars.The weirdness of Elizabethan plays, the pleasure of revisiting favourite novels, the supreme examples of Charlotte BrontÃ«, George Eliot and Henry James, Thomas Hardy and Joseph Conrad: all are here, in anonymously published pieces, in which may be glimpsed the thinking behind Woolfâ€™s works of fiction and the enquiring, feminist spirit of A Room of Oneâ€™s Own.Here is Woolf the critical essayist, offering, at one moment, a playful hypothesis and, at another, a judgement laid down with the authority of a twentieth-century Dr Johnson. Here is Woolf working out precisely whatâ€™s great about Hardy, and how Elizabeth Barrett Browning made books a â€œsubstitute for livingâ€ because she was â€œforbidden to scamper on the grassâ€. Above all, here is Virginia Woolf the reader, whose enthusiasm for great literature remains palpable and inspirational today.
