Secondary Sources! 74 1 Introduction Up until very late in the nineteenth century, the public sphere was firmly in the hands of male upper-class citizens. Ensuing from this, early twentieth-century Modernism marked a turning point for society. With a slight loosening of social restrictions arose possibilities for previously marginalised or excluded groups to claim their place in public spaces for the first time. All of this makes it an important era in the history of women’s strife for equality. A very similar paradigmatic change happened in literature. As Virginia Woolf puts it in her essay A Room of One’s Own, “it would have been impossible, completely and entirely, for any woman to have written the plays of Shakespeare in the age of Shakespeare” (AROO, 60), not because of a lack in literary genius but due to the restricted social environment. -
Time and Consciousness Representation in Virginia Woolf's
239 TIME AND CONSCIOUSNESS REPRESENTATION IN VIRGINIA WOOLF’S TO THE LIGHTHOUSE Filipe Róger Vuaden Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Elaine Barros Indrusiak Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul ABSTRACT: To the Lighthouse, Virginia Woolf’s fifth novel, is often regarded as one of her more complex and ambitious narratives. Erich Auerbach (2005) made one of the first attempts to shed some light on the narrative techniques employed in the novel in his essay “The Brown Stocking”, the last chapter of his seminal work Mimesis: The Representation of Reality in Western Literature. However, some recent criticism on this essay, notably from Michael Levenson (2015), has emphasized the limited scope of Auerbach’s terms of approach regarding the narrative of To the Lighthouse. Therefore, this article aims to update Auerbach’s ideas with the terminology provided by structuralist narratology, especially the categories regarding time and consciousness representation, according to the theoretical propositions of Bart Vervaeck and Luc Herman (2005). In this respect, Woolf’s use of multipersonal consciousness representation, differently from her contemporaries James Joyce and Marcel Proust, for instance, enables her to portray time in very peculiar ways in each of the sections of the novel. Consequently, by rendering the perception of the events not only from a single perspective, but from as many as possible, Virginia Woolf creates a mosaic of points of view that aims at a synthesis of reality. KEYWORDS: To the Lighthouse. Virginia Woolf. Narratology. Time. Consciousness Representation. RESUMO: Ao Farol, o quinto romance de Virginia Woolf, é geralmente tido como um de seus textos mais complexos e ambiciosos. -

Narrative Theory and the Poetics of Story and Plot 169
THEORY AND INTERPRETATION OF NARRATIVE THE FOR OF PLOT POETICS A James Phelan, Peter J. Rabinowitz, and Katra Byram, Series Editors TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY TWENTY-FIRST “Brian Richardson’s ever-expanding knowledge of world historical li terature—ancient and contemporary, arcane and canonical—allows him, seemingly without effort, to put things in a fresh light—a rare pleasure in academic prose.” —H. PORTER ABBOTT A POETICS OF Story, in the largest sense of the term, is arguably the single most important aspect of narrative. But with the proliferation of antimimetic writing, traditional narrative theory has been inadequate for conceptualizing and theorizing a vast body of innovative narratives. In A Poetics of Plot for the Twenty-First Century: Theorizing Unruly Narratives, Brian Richardson proposes a new, expansive model PLOT for understanding story and plot, including beginnings, endings, temporality, and FOR THE unusual narrative progressions. While he focuses on late modernist, postmodern, and contemporary narratives, the study also includes many earlier works, unruly narratives theorizing spanning from Aristophanes and Shakespeare through James Joyce and Virginia TWENTY-FIRST Woolf to Salman Rushdie and Angela Carter. By exploring fundamental questions about narrative, Richardson provides a CENTURY detailed, nuanced, and comprehensive theory that includes neglected categories of storytelling and significantly enhances our treatment of traditional areas of analysis. Ultimately, this book promises to transform and expand the study of story and plot. theorizing unruly narratives RICHARDSON BRIAN RICHARDSON is Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Maryland, College Park, and author of Unnatural Narrative: Theory, History, and Practice (OSU Press, 2015).
