  • It Is Time for Virginia Woolf
    TREBALL DE FI DE GRAU Tutor/a: Dra. Ana Moya Gutierrez Grau de: Estudis Anglesos IT IS TIME FOR VIRGINIA WOOLF Ane Iñigo Barricarte Universitat de Barcelona Curso 2018/2019, G2 Barclona, 11 June 2019 ABSTRACT This paper explores the issue of time in two of Virginia Woolf’s novels; Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse. The study will not only consider how the theme is presented in the novels but also in their filmic adaptations, including The Hours, a novel written by Michael Cunningham and film directed by Stephen Daldry. Time covers several different dimensions visible in both novels; physical, mental, historical, biological, etc., which will be more or less relevant in each of the novels and which, simultaneously, serve as a central point to many other themes such as gender, identity or death, among others. The aim of this paper, beyond the exploration of these dimensions and the connection with other themes, is to come to a general and comparative conclusion about time in Virginia Woolf. Key Words: Virginia Woolf, time, adaptations, subjective, objective. Este trabajo consiste en una exploración del tema del tiempo en dos de las novelas de Virginia Woolf; La Señora Dalloway y Al Faro. Dicho estudio, no solo tendrá en cuenta como se presenta el tema en las novelas, sino también en la adaptación cinematográfica de cada una de ellas, teniendo también en cuenta Las Horas, novela escrita por Michael Cunningham y película dirigida por Stephen Daldry. El tiempo posee diversas dimensiones visibles en ambos trabajos; física, mental, histórica, biológica, etc., que cobrarán mayor o menor importancia en cada una de las novelas y que, a su vez, sirven de puntos de unión para otros muchos temas como pueden ser el género, la identidad o la muerte entre otros.

She was interested in the discoveries made by Russian nineteenth-century novelists in the sphere of transferring the depths of human mind into literary narrative. Early in her life she started reading Tolstoy; she became one of the first English admirers of Dostoevsky when Constance Garnett made the first major English translation of Dostoevsky’s novels between 1912 and 1920.[1] In one of her letters she confesses that it is from Tolstoy that the modernists ‘had to break away’.[2] Her reviews of translations from Russian were never solely about Russian literature: she felt it necessary while writing on the literature of Russian people, to comment on the Russian national character. In her 1917 article on Sergei Aksakov, the Russian nineteen-century writer, she denotes ‘the shouts of joy and the love of watching’ as ‘the peculiar property of the Russian people’.[3] Woolf never visited Russia, but her learning about Russian nation from its texts is one of the many examples of her exploring the world through fiction. Her involvement in reviewing and publishing Russian literature (between 1917 and 1946 The Hogarth Press published fifteen translations from Russian)[4] required keeping herself up to date with the political and social events in contemporaryRussia.

  • Virginia Woolf
    READING Virginia Woolf Virginia Woolf was one of the greatest English writers of all time. She was a modernist writer and some of her most famous experimental novels are Jacob's Room, Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse. She was born in London on 25 January, 1882. Her father, Leslie Stephen, was a very educated man. He was part of the “intellectual aristocracy” of Victorian England. Virginia Woolf had two brothers, one sister, two stepbrothers and two stepsisters. All eight children lived with their parents and a few servants at 22 Hyde Park Gate, Kensington. The family usually spent summer holidays at Talland House in St Ives, Cornwall. This house was very important for Virginia's imagination. Virginia Woolf never went to school but she could use her father's large library and she decided to become a writer. Her brothers Thoby and Adrian went to Cambridge. There they met many intelligent young men. Some of them later became Virginia's friends. Virginia Woolf's mother died in 1895 and Virginia had her first nervous breakdown. After her father's death Virginia moved to 46 Gordon Square, Bloomsbury. In 1912, she married Leonard Woolf and they decided to earn money by writing and journalism. Virginia finished her first novel in 1913. Its name was The Voyage Out and it was quite conventional. The book was published by Duckworth & Co in 1915. In 1917, the Woolfs bought a small printing press. Virginia wrote, published and printed. A lot of Virginia Woolf's friends died in the 1930s. After the start of the Second World War she and her husband moved to the country.

Ben Harker In August 1936 the Rodmell village branch of the Labour Party held its monthly meeting in the usual venue, Monk’s House, the home of Leonard and Virginia Woolf. Those present included the Woolfs, the village postman Mr Fears and his wife, farm- worker Mr Hubbard, the Woolfs’ domestic servant Louie Everest (branch secretary) and her husband Bert, a labourer at the nearby cement works.1 A number of the assembled activists were also the Woolfs’ employees and tenants, and entrenched class dynamics rubbed against more egalitarian objectives: as recently as the 1929 General Election Virginia Woolf had been jolted by the realisation that she and her servants wanted the same side to win, reflecting in her diary that ‘to be ruled by Nelly [Boxall] and Lottie [Hope] would be a disaster.’2 As Raymond Williams points out it in his essay ‘The Bloomsbury Fraction’, the Woolfs’ circle had never been the politically disengaged aesthetes often caricatured by the left.

  • Beyond, Beside, and Between the Acts: Woolf, Derrida, and the Politics of a Middle Voice
    Woolf, Derrida, and the Politics of a Middle Voice BEYOND, BESIDE, AND BETWEEN THE ACTS WOOLF, DERRIDA, AND THE POLITICS OF A MIDDLE VOICE By CHRISTY CARLSON, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the degree Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Christy Carlson, August 1991 MASTER OF ARTS (1991) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Beyond, Beside, and Between the Acts: Woolf, Derrida, and the Politics of a Middle Voice AUTHOR: Christy Carlson, B.A. (University of Toronto) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Mary O'Connor NUMBER OF PAGES: v, 108 ii Abstract In this thesis, I examine the discourses of Virginia Woolf and Jacques Derrida each from the perspective of the other in an attempt to discuss the insights and limitations of each theory. I begin by considering each writer's version of what I will call the middle voice, a notion that serves as the point of departure for my examination of the linguistic processes of graft and disengagement in both Woolf and Derrida. Turning to the philosophical and political problems that arise when these writers put their versions of the middle voice into practice, I discuss their mutual desire (and inevitable failure) to oppose and displace totalization. Despite the similarity of these projects, however, I argue that they arise from distinct relations to subjectivity and, as a result, different imperatives. Next, I consider the (non)principle that permits and enables these notions (that is, the ungraspable because always already divided origin and the decentralizing or (self)effacing self): the logic of supplementarity.

  • Novel to Novel to Film: from Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway to Michael
    Rogers 1 Archived thesis/research paper/faculty publication from the University of North Carolina at Asheville’s NC DOCKS Institutional Repository: http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/unca/ Novel to Novel to Film: From Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway to Michael Cunningham’s and Daldry-Hare’s The Hours Senior Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For a Degree Bachelor of Arts with A Major in Literature at The University of North Carolina at Asheville Fall 2015 By Jacob Rogers ____________________ Thesis Director Dr. Kirk Boyle ____________________ Thesis Advisor Dr. Lorena Russell Rogers 2 All the famous novels of the world, with their well known characters, and their famous scenes, only asked, it seemed, to be put on the films. What could be easier and simpler? The cinema fell upon its prey with immense rapacity, and to this moment largely subsists upon the body of its unfortunate victim. But the results are disastrous to both. The alliance is unnatural. Eye and brain are torn asunder ruthlessly as they try vainly to work in couples. (Woolf, “The Movies and Reality”) Although adaptation’s detractors argue that “all the directorial Scheherezades of the world cannot add up to one Dostoevsky, it does seem to be more or less acceptable to adapt Romeo and Juliet into a respected high art form, like an opera or a ballet, but not to make it into a movie. If an adaptation is perceived as ‘lowering’ a story (according to some imagined hierarchy of medium or genre), response is likely to be negative...An adaptation is a derivation that is not derivative—a work that is second without being secondary.

  • Angelica Garnett, Ou Le Difficile Héritage De Bloomsbury, Florence Noiville, Le Monde, 8 Juin 2001 a Forcalquier, on L'appelle « L'anglaise »
    Angelica Garnett, ou le difficile héritage de Bloomsbury, Florence Noiville, Le Monde, 8 juin 2001 A Forcalquier, on l'appelle « l'Anglaise ». Pour la trouver, il faut gravir des rues aux noms fanés – rue Mercière, rue Violette –, continuer vers la citadelle, marcher en direction d'une chapelle romane à demi enfouie sous les coquelicots et les orties, jusqu'à ce que surgisse enfin une maison basse contemplant tranquillement la chaîne du Lubéron. Une maison qui sent la peinture et l'essence de térébenthine. Il y a des couleurs, des craies partout, des huiles fines de chez Sennelier, des fusains épars, des pots de vernis « bistrot » et de fixatif, des pinceaux en bataille sur un exemplaire du TLS... « Excusez-moi, je dois emballer ce dessin. C'est pour une exposition que je fais à Londres. » Elle lève les yeux vers vous, deux grands yeux bleus très pâles : c'est alors qu'on la reconnaît... « l'Anglaise ». Ce que l'on voit à cet instant, c'est cette fameuse photo de Virginia Woolf par Gisèle Freund : la transparence, la mélancolie du regard, l'ovale si bien dessiné du visage. Fille de l'artiste Vanessa Bell, l'aînée de la famille Stephen, et du peintre Duncan Grant, Angelica Garnett est la nièce de Virginia Woolf. A 82 ans, elle vit en Provence depuis 1984 : « Je connaissais bien la France, j'avais déjà eu une maison dans le Lot et j'avais toujours voulu y vivre. Je voulais aussi me séparer de Charleston qui me prenait trop et m'empêchait de peindre. Je voulais échapper à ça, échapper à tout, aux Anglais aussi.

Aunthood and Narrative Voice: Virginia Woolf’s Materteral Form Rosemary Jean Reynolds Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Literature School of Humanities, University of Westminster April 2020 1 ABSTRACT It is rare to find an area of Virginia Woolf’s work that has not had, in some form, critical attention. Yet this thesis is the first study, of any length, which takes aunts in Woolf’s writing as its focus. This thesis starts by asking the question, why are there so many aunts in Woolf’s writing? This initial enquiry leads to a consideration of the position of aunthood in British culture during Woolf’s lifetime, and argues that the discourse surrounding the 1907 Deceased Wife’s Sister’s Marriage Act is emblematic of the aunt’s unique position between inside, and outside, the family. Using this historicist research alongside existing poststructuralist Woolf scholarship, this thesis develops a new way to read Woolf’s innovation in narrative form. It develops a theory of the materteral which takes into account the aunt’s specific historical position at the time, and Woolf’s personal conception of aunthood as expressed in her private writing as well as her fiction.
