And to Steve, for everything, but especially for recognizing me. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project represents investments beyond intellectual production, and I am not the only person who made these investments. I would like to thank Laura Doyle, my Chair and advisor throughout my time at UMass. It was her course on Modernism and Global Studies that introduced me to a Spanish novel from Cuban writer Alejo Carpentier, which opened the door for me to the possibilities of baroque modernism in a global context. I walked through that door, and Laura has been a resource as well as a champion for my project ever since. Throughout my research and writing, there have been times when I needed clear guidance and times when I needed the space and trust to explore. Laura provided both. I also wish to express gratitude to members of my committee: Stephen Clingman, whose influence on my trajectory with baroque modernism has also been crucial, and whose feedback on writing as well as encouragement when I most needed it has been valuable throughout coursework, exams, and dissertation. Ruth Jennison has been that important voice, from exams through the dissertation, to ask key questions that push me to work harder. And I thank Karen Kurczynski, who not only added a necessary disciplinary perspective from Art History but also has been a generous reader with transformative insights—I could not have hoped for a more effective and helpful addition to the committee. I am also appreciative of the opportunities and support provided by the English Department and the Graduate School at UMass, including Travel Grants to attend conferences to present developing research, a Dissertation Fellowship to focus on writing, and a Dissertation Research Grant, which funded a trip to London in 2018. There, the archivists at the Royal Academy of Art and the Tate helped make the v internationalist and nationalist endeavors during the interwar years come alive through the documents of exhibit organizers. I extend particular appreciation to co-panelists and conference attendees who have helped foster earlier stages of some of these ideas, especially the collegial communities I have found through the Space Between Society and the International Virginia Woolf Society, whose scholarly support extends far beyond annual conferences. I also thank the reviewers and editors at the Journal of Postcolonial Writing and the Journal of Modern Literature for shepherding my research and writing on baroque modernism. Many faculty in the English Department played official and unofficial support and advocacy roles throughout my time at UMass, and I wish to especially thank Suzanne Daly, who has always provided the most useful advice for professionalization and has been a beacon for my cohort ever since our first semester in her Theorizing the Discipline course; as well as Asha Nadkarni, Rachel Mordecai, and Jane Hwang Degenhardt, for supporting and advocating for graduate students in our teaching and student—not to mention our human—roles. I also thank departmental staff who provide so much support for all of us, especially Wanda Bak, Patty O’Neill, and Tom Racine. And I thank my colleagues and students at UMass who have learned with me. It was in the classroom where I often found the questions, insights, and desire to understand our complicated social contexts that reminded me why any of us do this kind of work. I want to especially thank my friends and colleagues who have become another kind of family. Sharing meals and tears as well as writing and teaching advice and support—and laughs, lots of laughs—has been key to surviving this journey. Joshua Barsczewski, Bo Jimenez, Marlene Perez, Joy Hayward-Jansen, Nirmala Iswari, Kate vi Perillo, Michelle Brooks, and many, many more. I want to especially thank Saumya Lal, whose generosity, friendship, and keen reader skills I just could not do without. And to Benjamin Zender and Anna-Claire Simpson Steffen, there just aren’t enough words to express my appreciation for your love and fierce friendship, not to mention your talents and geniuses, which inspire me. And to my other family, which has loved and supported me through the various paths I have taken, even (or especially) when my path may not have made sense to you: thank you. vii ABSTRACT WRITING AGAINST HISTORY: FEMINIST BAROQUE NARRATIVES IN INTERWAR ATLANTIC MODERNISM MAY 2020 ANNALIESE D. HOEHLING, B.A., HENDERSON STATE UNIVERSITY M.A., UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS M.F.A., UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS Ph.D., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST Directed by: Professor Laura Doyle In the decades following the end of the Great War, paranoia and panic about survival and sovereign control were driven by unprecedented death tolls from war, disease, and economic disaster as well as by revolutionary agitation around the globe. This fear was channeled into policing gender, sexuality, and race; and the parameters of white, middle- class womanhood were weaponized for social control in the transatlantic imaginary. In this study, I identify two rhetorical-political figures that helped to shape this imagination: Surplus Women and Trafficked Women. In my analysis of the literature, these figures help to contrast domestic scenes, on one hand, where the integration and fortification of national and racial identities is secured through white, middle-class, reproductive womanhood, with, on the other hand, the transience and mobility of threatening or transformative sexuality and racial ambiguity. Writing Against History therefore attends to narrative form as well as the political imaginary of gender and race in order to consider how women’s experimental writing participates in constructing or resisting national and colonial imagination. This dissertation argues that baroque aesthetics, recuperated and reculturated at the turn of the twentieth-century, aestheticize a tension between viii incommensurable forces, including life and death, pleasure and pain, love and fear. Focusing on four novels by modernist women from English, Anglo-Irish, American- Expatriate, and British-Creole contexts, I define a feminist baroque aesthetic potential in modernist narratives that do not simply resist but renegotiate the terms of white, middle- class womanhood forged by colonial-patriarchy. In their open and ambiguous narrative forms, feminist baroque narratives point to an ongoing individual and collective responsibility to recognize the narratives and social forms that demand or force certain visions of a future contingent on sexual, racial, and economic exploitation. This study’s juxtaposition of feminist baroque aesthetics and the interwar historical context reorganizes and renegotiates the relationships between texts, readers, and modernism, as well as between subjects, nations, and war. The interwar period, in this baroque modernist context, is re-seen as its own vanishing point that, like a baroque fold, can introduce imagined possibilities as well as a self-consciousness of personal responsibility in relation to those possibilities. ix TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ...................................................................................................v ABSTRACT ..................................................................................................................... viii LIST OF FIGURES .......................................................................................................... xii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS .........................................................................................

  • 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.

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.

This thesis takes two of Virginia Woolf’s novels, The Voyage MOut and Mrs. Dalloway, and brings them into conversation with the unpublished draft material of Woolf’s little-known, but heavily revised short story “The Searchlight.” Rather than assuming that Woolf is an author who primarily engages with life within England at the turn of the century, it interrogates the colonial elsewheres (or the places of colony that Woolf writes about but never visited herself) that feature in various scenes of looking in her writing. What do Woolf’s characters see when they gaze over people and places that are both known and unknown? And, perhaps even more importantly, what do they imagine? This thesis claims that the act of looking in Woolf’s fic- tions constitutes a fundamental ambivalence in the ideology of empire—Woolf’s characters gaze at colonial elsewheres in ways that both sustain and dislodge the underlying logic of conquest.

  • Mary Beth Walker Virginia Woolf Seminar Dr. Rose Norman the University of Alabama in Huntsville Seminar Paper May 4, 1998
    Mary Beth Walker Virginia Woolf Seminar Dr. Rose Norman The University of Alabama in Huntsville Seminar Paper May 4, 1998 Rachel Vinrace and The Voyage Out: A Heroine Out of Time and Out of Place Introduction Rachel Vinrace is a heroine out of time and out of place in Virginia Woolf’s novel The Voyage Out. Previous critics have explained Rachel as a heroine disengaged from the world (Ruotolo), a heroine in a failed bildungsroman (Ruotolo, Friedman), a heroine in a transformed bildungsroman (Froula, Blain), or a character bound in Woolf’s literary allusions about impending death (Davis-Clapper). All these theories are credible. While I agree with the previous critics, I go a step further and examine Rachel from the point of view that she is in addition a character out of time and out of place in her world, and that because of her inability to fit in, death is the only solution . Rachel as an out of time, out of place heroine does not fit into her surroundings emotionally, physically, or intellectually. She is not like the other characters, she feels apart from them and they sense this, she does not communicate well with them, and she has intense aversions to what her contemporaries consider the normal life for a young woman. She is not avant guarde, but neither is she a character of a previous time. Her early development is suppressed (Lee 677), her education is incomplete and based on irrelevancies, and she doesn’t have a clear vision of a future that is meaningful. Woolf very systematically places Rachel opposite characters that are in time and in place, and in the end Woolf has no choice but to write Rachel’s death because Rachel never finds the time or place where she fits in.

They described, at times reluctantly and defiantly, the new age of ocean-going steamships and passenger ocean liners.
