There are two distinctive and contradictory portraits of her that emerge. The first has its roots in Leslie Stephen’s book of family remembrances, The Mausoleum Book, in which he Lewis, Ph.D. writes that Caroline’s health was damaged and her life ruined by an unrequited love who left Caroline Emelia Stephen has enjoyed a long-standing reputation among Friends as a Quaker and died in India (54-5). theologian. Quaker Strongholds (1891) is considered a "Quaker classic;" one hundred years Though there is absolutely no substantiation for this story, it has taken on a life of its own and is after its first publication, Friends General Conference book catalog calls it "one of the clearest repeatedly retold by most of the Woolf scholars and critics who do not ignore the existence of visions of our faith." Stephen was also the author of Light Arising: Thoughts on the Central Caroline entirely. Quentin Bell, Woolf’s nephew and biographer, follows his grandfather’s lead Radiance (1908) and The Vision of Faith (1911). in forwarding the theory that Caroline’s ill health was due to a broken heart. The picture he People who know Caroline Stephen and her writings are often unaware that Virginia Woolf, presents of Caroline is that of "an intelligent woman who fell, nevertheless, into the role of the one of the most innovative forces within the genre of the modern English novel, was her niece. imbecile Victorian female" and who "at the age of twenty-three settled down to become an Woolf used concepts of psychology and relativity to produce new ways of expressing invalid and an old maid" (Bell, 6-7). This romantic story of a lost love persists in the most consciousness in works such as Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927). In recent Woolf biography by James King: "Early in life she had fallen in love with a young man addition to her progressive artistry, she is known for her strong stands on feminism and who had not been responsive and had taken himself off to India. In Milly [CES], Leslie saw a pacifism. Copies of Light Arising and Quaker Strongholds were in Virginia Woolf’s private woman whose life had been destroyed by a broken heart. Leslie saw Milly as weak-willed and library to the end of her life. So much of the old forms and the family ties of her past life were indecisive"." (25). jettisoned when she and her siblings recreated themselves in Bloomsbury that it seems unlikely We are indebted to feminist scholar Jane Marcus for being the first to look at Caroline Stephen that she would have retained these books for purely sentimental reasons. They must have been seriously in the realm of Woolf criticism. Marcus put forth an alternative viewpoint, espoused meaningful to her on some deeper level. by Woolf herself, that Caroline’s ill health was rather due to the fact that she played the role of In light of this, it is informative to look at the link between these two women, who were both "a dutiful Victorian daughter and sister, nursing at the sickbeds and deathbeds of her family" outstanding in their respective fields, and particularly interesting to consider the influence of ("Niece," 15). Woolf recognized in her aunt the same pattern played out in the lives of her own Stephen’s Quakerism upon Woolf’s writing. mother and half-sister and stated in her aunt’s obituary that "attendance upon her mother during First, some brief family background.

Her grandfather, James Caroline’s mother died in 1875; Caroline suffered another collapse the same year while caring Stephen, was involved with this group from the beginning, and her mother was Catherine Venn, for Leslie and his daughter following the death of his first wife. It is perhaps not surprising that the daughter of John Venn, the Rector of Clapham and an influential figure within the sect. Her Leslie Stephen might have been eager to shift some of the blame for Caroline’s broken health father, also a James Stephen, had five children with Catherine. from himself to a mythical lover. Even more damaging is the fact that he makes every effort to The eldest surviving son was James Fitzjames, later 1st Baronet, who continued to follow his denigrate Caroline’s writing.

Instead of a weak-willed woman whose life amounted to nothing because of her inability to James’ youngest son was Leslie Stephen, Virginia Woolf’s father. catch a man, a very different view of Caroline Stephen is found in the writings of female family Leslie Stephen broke publicly with the tradition of his forefathers by renouncing his holy orders members and Quakers. Her niece Katherine Stephen, who was to become president of while on fellowship at Cambridge and becoming an agnostic (the intellectual sticking point for Newnham College, described her as someone who was generous with "toleration and him was the story of Noah’s Ark and the Flood).

Rufus Jones, British Empire. Woolf recalled her childhood as being dominated by the great horizontal row of in his Later Periods of Quakerism, describes her as "the foremost interpreter in the Society in books that her father kept producing. Her later reminiscences painted him as "brutal" toward England of Friends’ way of worship" and as "a woman of broad culture, of rare insight, of women, with a penchant for rages and emotional outbursts, and a continuous state of neediness beautiful personality, possessed of a graceful literary style" (969). that drained the women who cared for him (Moments, 145-6). Jones’ praise of her contrasts sharply with Leslie Stephen’s opinion, but is more in line with Virginia Woolf’s assessment. She described her aunt as "one of the few to whom the gift of 3 4 expression is given together with the need of it, and in addition to a wonderful command of forth all her spiritual experiences. All her life she has been listening to inner voices, and talking language she had a scrupulous wish to use it accurately.

In Quaker Strongholds, Caroline Stephen recounts the general worst points in her mental illness. To hear of someone having a similar experience cast in a dissatisfaction she felt with her spiritual life prior to her conversion to Quakerism: positive light must have been reassuring to her. On another level, her aunt’s experiences might What I felt I wanted in a place of worship was a refuge, or at least the opening of a doorway have also encouraged her to take her own "inner voice" more seriously, a necessary step in towards the refuge, from doubts and controversies; not a fresh encounter with them. Yet it becoming a writer. seems to me impossible that any one harassed by the conflicting views of truth, with which just It was during this period of recuperation that Virginia began to explore her writing talents more now the air is thick, should be able to forget controversy while listening to such language as that seriously.

Leslie Stephen had become a leader of the so-called "naturalistic weekly, and at one point she even considered writing a description of Quaker meeting for this movement" and had written several influential agnostic pamphlets and essays.

  • 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.

  • Venn Diagrams
    VENN DIAGRAMS What is it? A Venn diagram or set diagram is a diagram that shows relationships among sets of numbers, information or concepts. In around 1880, John Venn introduced the world to the idea of Venn diagrams. Since then they have been used to teach elementary set theory in mathematics, statistics, linguistics and computer science. Using Venn diagrams for reading and in the English classroom allows students to explore relations among ideas. They can use Venn diagrams to organize information according to similarities and differences. Any level of reader can use a Venn diagram to process their thinking around a text. Venn diagrams are useful for comparing and contrasting ideas and are an excellent way to clearly show an overlap of ideas in texts. Why is it important? There is huge cognitive benefit in examining the similarities and differences among concepts. In such as activities, young children search for patterns to make connections between new information and their own background knowledge and therefore process thoughts more deeply (Dreher & Gray, 2009). Using Venn Diagrams can help students become more active in the reading process because they are being asked to analyse a text in a focused manner. As they organise their responses into the chart, they link information across sentences, paragraphs and the whole text. Venn Diagrams can also be useful when asking students to compare and contrast ideas represented in different texts. This focus helps them interpret information in relation to a broader context. For example, using a Venn Diagram to compare the ideas in two texts that have been written from different perspectives, periods of history or fields of study can lead students to deeper understanding of both texts.

  • The Charleston Bulletin Supplements, by Virginia Woolf and Quentin Bell, the British Library, London (ISBN 978 0 7123 5891), 2013
    The Charleston Bulletin Supplements, by Virginia Woolf and Quentin Bell, The British Library, London (ISBN 978 0 7123 5891), 2013. In 2003 the British Library purchased the manuscripts of The Charleston Bulletin and, a decade later, it launched this attractive edition of a selection of special issues or supplements to the daily Bulletin. Ninety years ago Vanessa and Clive Bell’s sons, Julian, aged fifteen, and Quentin Bell, thirteen, began to create their family newspaper. Quentin took the lead in the enterprise as he explains in the Afterword to his aunt Virginia Woolf’s The Widow and the Parrot: ‘I made all the illustrations and most of the other matter. From time to time my brother got bored and stopped work. I carried on reporting and inventing the news as best I could until he, exasperated by my spelling, my handwriting, my grammar etc, would take over again. Thus it happened that I asked for a contribution from my aunt Virginia’ (1). The enthusiastic participation of his aunt, who was by now a celebrated writer, explains why this book is now being published. The book is over 130 pages long, clearly printed on good quality paper and it is reasonably priced at £12.99. It includes eight black and white photographs and forty illustrations that have been carefully reproduced in authentic colour. The original collection at the British Library comprises many variously-sized pages with lots of white space on each. Inevitably compromise had to be made to compress irregular manuscripts into a neat, conventional, uniform book. The manuscript of The Dunciad edition, for instance, is 415 x 263 mm but here the images of that edition are reproduced as 140 x 110 mm on pages that are 210 x 130 mm.

  • Perceptions of Providence: Doing One’S Duty in Victorian England
    Perceptions of Providence: Doing one’s duty in Victorian England Diane Barbara Sylvester Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of Sydney A thesis submitted in fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. June 2017 Statement of originality This is to certify that to the best of my knowledge, the content of this thesis is my own work. This thesis has not been submitted for any degree or other purposes. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources have been acknowledged. ____________________ Diane Barbara Sylvester i Abstract Intellectual history responds to that most difficult question—‘What were they thinking?’ Intellectual historians who concern themselves with the moral thinking of Victorians often view that thinking through a political lens, focussing on moral norms that were broadly accepted, or contested, rather than the moral thinking of particular Victorians as individuals—each with their own assumptions, sensibilities and beliefs. In this thesis, I interrogate the work of nine individual Victorians to recover their moralities, and discover how they decided what is the right, and what is the wrong, thing to do. My selected protagonists contributed variously to Victorian intellectual life—George Eliot, Elizabeth Gaskell and Charles Dickens, as novelists; Matthew Arnold, John Henry Newman and Charles Haddon Spurgeon, as participants in the public discussion of Christian belief; and William Whewell, John Stuart Mill and Thomas Hill Green, as moral philosophers. I make comparisons between my protagonists’ moralities, but it is not my aim to generalise from them and, by a process of extrapolation, define a ‘Victorian’ morality.

  • 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.
