  • 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.

  • AWAR of INDIVIDUALS: Bloomsbury Attitudes to the Great
    2 Bloomsbury What were the anti-war feelings chiefly expressed outside ‘organised’ protest and not under political or religious banners – those attitudes which form the raison d’être for this study? As the Great War becomes more distant in time, certain actions and individuals become greyer and more obscure whilst others seem to become clearer and imbued with a dash of colour amid the sepia. One thinks particularly of the so-called Bloomsbury Group.1 Any overview of ‘alter- native’ attitudes to the war must consider the responses of Bloomsbury to the shadows of doubt and uncertainty thrown across page and canvas by the con- flict. Despite their notoriety, the reactions of the Bloomsbury individuals are important both in their own right and as a mirror to the similar reactions of obscurer individuals from differing circumstances and backgrounds. In the origins of Bloomsbury – well known as one of the foremost cultural groups of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods – is to be found the moral and aesthetic core for some of the most significant humanistic reactions to the war. The small circle of Cambridge undergraduates whose mutual appreciation of the thoughts and teachings of the academic and philosopher G.E. Moore led them to form lasting friendships, became the kernel of what would become labelled ‘the Bloomsbury Group’. It was, as one academic described, ‘a nucleus from which civilisation has spread outwards’.2 This rippling effect, though tem- porarily dammed by the keenly-felt constrictions of the war, would continue to flow outwards through the twentieth century, inspiring, as is well known, much analysis and interpretation along the way.

  • 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.

  • 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.

The WestminsterResearch online digital archive at the University of Westminster aims to make the research output of the University available to a wider audience. Copyright and Moral Rights remain with the authors and/or copyright owners. 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.
