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.

    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.

  • John Halperin Bloomsbury and Virginia W
    John Halperin ., I Bloomsbury and Virginia WooH: Another VIew . i· "It had seemed to me ever since I was very young," Adrian Stephen wrote in The Dreadnought Hoax in 1936, "that anyone who took up an attitude of authority over anyone else was necessarily also someone who offered a leg to pull." 1 In 1910 Adrian and his sister Virginia and Duncan Grant and some of their friends dressed up as the Emperor of Abyssinia and his suite and perpetrated a hoax upon the Royal Navy. They wished to inspect the Navy's most modern vessel, they said; and the Naval officers on hand, completely fooled, took them on an elaborate tour of some top­ secret facilities aboard the HMS Dreadnought. When the "Dread­ nought Hoax," as it came to be called, was discovered, there were furious denunciations of the group in the press and even within the family, since some Stephen relations were Naval officers. One of them wrote to Adrian: "His Majesty's ships are not suitable objects for practical jokes." Adrian replied: "If everyone shared my feelings toward the great armed forces of the world, the world [might] be a happier place to live in . .. armies and suchlike bodies [present] legs that [are] almost irresistible." Earlier a similarly sartorial practical joke had been perpetrated by the same group upon the mayor of Cam­ bridge, but since he was a grocer rather than a Naval officer the Stephen family seemed unperturbed by this-which was not really a thumbing·of-the-nose at the Establishment. The Dreadnought Hoax was harder to forget.

"If I were a painter," she observes, "I should paint these first impressions in pale yellow, silver, and green. There was the pale yellow blind; the green sea; and the silver of the passion flowers. I should make a picture that was globular; semi-transparent. I should make curved shapes, showing the light through, but not giving a clear outline. Everything would be large and dim; and what was seen would at the same time be heard . sounds indistinguishable from sights."

  • Consciousness of “The Mark on the Wall”
    Consciousness of “The Mark on the Wall” A Translation of Virginia Woolf’s The Mark on the Wall (By George Charles Beresford) Bachelor Thesis English Language and Culture, Utrecht University Kim Segers 3364755 Supervisor: dr. Onno Kosters Second reader: Roselinde Supheert November 2010 CONTENTS PAGE Introduction 3 Virginia Woolf 3 “The Mark on the Wall” 5 Feminism 6 Stream of consciousness 8 View of reality 11 Concluding remarks 15 Annotated translation 16 Bibliography 28 Appendix: source text 30 2 Introduction Translating is one of my favourite pastimes and because I wish to do a Master’s degree in Translation Studies, it was a simple enough choice for me to do a translation thesis. During one of my searches for a text, I came across Virginia Woolf. I had heard of her, knew who she was, but had never actually read anything by her before. When I did, I was impressed by the subtle complexity of her style, and her life as a person in general. I decided I wanted to use her, and specifically her short story “The Mark on the Wall,” for my thesis. In my reflection, below, I will mostly focus on the style and historical and cultural context of the story, so as to point out the translation problems and the analysis of the text itself. Virginia Woolf Virginia Woolf was born in London in 1882 under the name Adeline Virginia Stephen. She had a difficult life: she was sexually abused by her older half-brother and at only thirteen years old the death of her mother caused her second mental breakdown and first suicide attempt.

Mapping the character of Clarissa in The Voyage Out (1915), “Mrs. Dalloway’s Party” (1923), and primarily Mrs. Dalloway (1925), I highlight Woolf’s conviction that negotiating modernity requires an exploratory yet protected consciousness for married women. Rhys’s early novels, Quartet (1929), After Leaving Mr. Mackenzie (1931), Voyage in the Dark (1934), and Good Morning, Midnight (1939), portray women excluded from the rite of marriage in British society. Unable to counter oppressive Victorian mores, her heroines invert the modernist impulse to “make it new” and face immutability instead, contrasting with the enforced multiplicity of identity endured by women of color in Fauset’s Plum Bun (1929) and Larsen’s Quicksand (1928) and Passing (1929).

Kenney, Jr.: The Moment, 1910: Virginia Woolf, Arnold Bennett, and Turn of the The Moment, 1910: Virginia Woolf, Arnold Bennett, and Turn ofthe Century Consciousness by EDWIN J. KENNEY, JR. N THE YEARS 1923-24 Virginia Woolf was embroiled in an argument I with Arnold Bennett about the responsibility of the novelist and the future ofthe novel. In her famous essay "Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown," she observed that "on or about December, 1910, human character changed";1 and she proceeded to argue, without specifying the causes or nature of that change, that because human character had changed the novel must change if it were to be a true representation of human life. Since that time the at once assertive and vague remark about 1910, isolated, has served as a convenient point of departure for historians now writing about the social and cultural changes occurring during the Edwardian period.2 Literary critics have taken the ideas about fiction from "Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown" and Woolfs other much-antholo­ gized essay "Modern Fiction" as a free-standing "aesthetic manifesto" of the new novel of sensibility;3 and those who have recorded and discussed the "whole contention" between Virginia Woolf and Arnold Bennett have regarded the relation between Woolfs historical observation and her ideas about the novel either as just a rhetorical strategy or a generational disguise for the expression of class bias against Bennett.4 Yet few readers have asked what Virginia Woolf might have nleant by her remark about 1910 and the novel, or what it might have meant to her.
