Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For students of modern literature, the works of Virginia Woolf are essential reading. In her novels, short stories, essays, polemical pamphlets and in her private letters she explored, questioned and refashioned everything about modern life: cinema, sexuality, shopping, education, feminism, politics and war. Her elegant and startlingly original sentences became a model of modernist prose. This is a clear and informative introduction to Woolf's life, works, and cultural and critical contexts, explaining the importance of the Bloomsbury group in the development of her work. It covers the major works in detail, including To the Lighthouse, Mrs Dalloway, The Waves and the key short stories. As well as providing students with the essential information needed to study Woolf, Jane Goldman suggests further reading to allow students to find their way through the most important critical works. All students of Woolf will find this a useful and illuminating overview of the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of previous volumes, Virginia Woolf: Texts and Contexts captures the multiple voices and critical perspectives that animate and invigorate Woolf scholarship. Virginia Woolf: Texts and Contexts includes new interpretations of Jacob's Room by Christine Froula and Madeline Moore, a look at the promotion and publishing of Woolf's work in her lifetime by Edward Bishop, and a look at reading Woolf as a man by Mark Hussey. Contributors analyze Woolf alongside the comic work of Ring Lardner and Lily Tomlin, pair her with Joseph Conrad and Edith Wharton, and place her with Walt Whitman, Jeanette Winterson, and others who describe same-sex love. Other contributors shed light on Woolf through comparing her work to that produced by writers in Heian Japan and during the Spanish Civil War. The volume contains innovative work by Jane Lilienfeld, Melba Cuddy-Keane, Diane Gillespie, and Thomas Caramagno. It includes talks on memoirs by Mary Beth Pringle, Alicia Ostriker, and Toni McNaron.

Book excerpt: Placing Virginia Woolf's views in the context of the philosophical and lay accounts of everyday experience that dominated the cultural thought of her time, Sim draws on the major novels and on a number of shorter and less-discussed texts such as short stories, essays, memoirs, and diaries. Woolf, Sim contends, explores the potential of everyday experience as a site of personal meaning, social understanding, and ethical value.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virginia Woolf’s Unwritten Histories explores the interrelatedness of Woolf’s modernism, feminism and her understanding of history as a site of knowledge and a writing practice that enabled her to negotiate her heritage, to find her place among the moderns as a female artist and intellectual, and to elaborate her poetics of the "new": not as radical rupture but as the result of a process of unwriting and rewriting "traditional" historiographical orthodoxies. Its central argument is that unless we comprehend the genealogy of Woolf’s historical thought and the complexity of its lineage, we cannot fully grasp the innovative thrust of her attempt to "think back through our mothers." Bringing together canonical texts such as Orlando (1928), A Room of One’s Own (1929), Three Guineas (1938) or Between the Acts (1941) and under-researched ones — among which stand Woolf’s essays on historians and reviews of history books and her pieces on literary history and nineteenth-century women’s literature — this book argues that Woolf’s textual "conversations" with nineteenth-century writers, historians and critics, many of which remain unexplored, are interwoven with her historiographical poiesis and constitute the groundwork for her alternative histories and literary histories: "unwritten," open-textured, unacademic and polemical counter-narratives that keep track of the past and engage politically with the future.
