Madden ABSTRACT From the beginning of her career, Virginia Woolf moves beyond the perspective of her inherited class position to challenge a damaging class system. She increasingly recognizes the extent of her own complicity in the creation and maintenance of class structures supporting patriarchy, war, and British imperialism. Highlighting ambiguities inherent in the very category of class, she acknowledges the limiting “boxes” of language itself in attempts to rethink class. For Woolf, class is not monolithic but internally differentiated by gender and race. Examining Woolf’s early work in relation to class theory shows that throughout her career Woolf interrogates the imbrication of gender and race in class politics. She finds class difference a fertile source of satire, and subjects her own class position to satirical scrutiny. At the same time, a certain psychology of class operates in Woolf: vulnerable to the dissolution of ego boundaries because of her mental illness, she at times shores up her sense of identity by reaffirming class boundaries that were otherwise repugnant to her. Thus Woolf vacillates between perceiving class as necessary to “civilization” and championing egalitarian views. Theoretical points of reference for this study include cultural materialism, feminist standpoint theory, ii psychoanalysis, and theories of class advanced by Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu, Max Weber, Gary Day, David Cannadine, Beverly Skeggs, and Rosemary Hennessy. iii CHAPTER ONE “Now is life very solid, or very shifting? I am haunted by the two contradictions.”—Virginia Woolf in A Moment’s Liberty: The Shorter Diary, Friday, Jan. 4, 1929, p. 257. A “RATIONAL REBELLIOUSNESS”1: THEORY AND CONTEXT FOR CLASS ISSUES IN WOOLF’S WRITING Virginia Woolf’s epistemology could be characterized as tectonic, for to her life often appeared to alternate between the traditional solidity of family and class, and the shifting, seismic changes of the first half of the twentieth century. These destabilizing shifts also occurred for Woolf at an intimate psychological level during her bouts of mental illness. Some Woolf scholars, such as Pamela Caughie in Virginia Woolf & Postmodernism (1991), claim that Woolf substantially anticipates a fragmentary, postmodern and deconstructive view of reality. I suggest that Woolf, with one foot in the cradle of the nineteenth century and one in the streets of twentieth-century London, represents an unresolved contradiction or unsynthesized dialectic. In fact, Marianne DeKoven asserts in Rich and Strange: Gender, History, Modernism (1991) that the heart of the vast body of Modernist literature can be characterized by the sous-rature of Jacques Derrida and the “impossible dialectic” described by Julia Kristeva (4). To Derrida, word and thought are never unified. All signs involve a structure of difference and break apart. Though words are necessary, they are inherently inadequate; thus they should be thought of and written as under erasure. Kristeva questions the dichotomy of man/woman and the very notion of a stable identity, challenging definitions of what is feminine. To Kristeva, the semiotic knows no sexual difference, so as it becomes stronger, gender differences weaken. Thus I would argue that Woolf’s emphasis on the semiotic, particularly in works such as The 1 Waves (1931), weakens gender-related class divisions. DeKoven emphasizes the useful emblematic quality of the sous-rature concept in representing unresolved historical shifts in society’s view of the world at large, and believes that deconstruction enacts in philosophy the same moment that modernist writing enacts in literature: the coexistence of two paradigms which contradict each other. Woolf consistently expresses the tug of nostalgia for the traditional at the same time that she races into the future with her experimental fiction and progressive views on gender and politics. Such ambivalence is also reflected, DeKoven observes, in most other prominent modernists—including T.S. Eliot, Picasso, E.M. Forster, and James Joyce (185-95). Woolf particularly exhibits this “impossible dialectic” in her positionality regarding class, gender, and race. A CONSIDERED PERSPECTIVE ON WOOLF AND CLASS “[Society is] a nest of glass boxes . .” Virginia Woolf in “The Niece of an Earl” (CE1 219-23). The question of class in Woolf should be contextualized, I believe, in terms of a psychology of class connected to Woolf’s fear of dissolution of ego boundaries associated with social divisions and to her stake in her own class interest. It should also be contextualized in terms of a theory of class as internally differentiated by gender and as necessary to “civilization,” and in terms of class and literature. Furthermore, care should be taken to excavate the importance of class satire as self-critique and the significance of Woolf’s championing of the common reader. These areas of concern can be perceived as intersecting circles on a Venn diagram, for they overlap and affect each other, as well as create particular concentrations of force in certain areas of Woolf’s life 2 and work. They can also be envisioned as exerting additional circles of influence that operate much like ripples widening with the toss of a simple pebble upon a stream. It is this contextualized approach that I employ in examining the issue of Woolf and class. I have chosen theorists of class and language who shed light on this particular mode of viewing Woolf. Certainly consideration of the Marxist view of class as exploitative--a view current in Woolf’s lifetime--and an examination of the views of her contemporaries, such as Forster and Orwell, are appropriate in order to understand her thinking. I have also used the work of neo-modern Marxist theorists, such as Rosemary Hennessy, who define class as a set of social relations undergirding capitalism, and have examined the theories of another Woolf contemporary, Max Weber, because of his realization of the shifting nature of class divisions. I have employed twenty-first century theorists such as Gary Day, David Cannadine, and Beverly Skeggs for their particular insights into the development of class consciousness in Britain. Althusser’s work on ideology has been utilized to discuss Woolf’s gradual realization of her interpellation into a society that reproduces capitalist social relations without an apparatus of repression. I have applied the analyses of feminist critics such as Nancy Chodorow and Juliet Mitchell on the links between feminism and psychoanalysis. The work of Donna Haraway, Sandra Harding, and Nancy Hartsock has been brought to bear upon this study because of their groundbreaking work on feminist standpoint theory, which is helpful in excavating Woolf’s developing stance on class. Last, I have incorporated the important thinking of sociologist Pierre Bourdieu and philosopher Michel Foucault on power, knowledge, and society, and the linguistic work of theorists such as Jacques Derrida and Jacques Lacan 3 because of the multiple epistemological and political aspects of Woolf’s reflections on class issues.

RAMASWAMY SASTRULU & SONS at the " VAVILLA " PRESS, MADRAS—1932. f All Rights Reservtd by th* Author. To SIR PITTI THY AG A ROY A as an expression of friendship and gratitude. FOREWORD. This book is based on arfcioles origiDally contributed to a weekly of Madras devoted to social reform. At the time of their appearance a wish was expressed that they might be given a more permanent form by elaboration into a book. In fulfilment of this wish I have revised those articles and enlarged them with much additional matter. The book makes no pretentions either to erudition or to originality. Though I have not given references, I have laid under contribution much of the literature bearing on the subject of caste. The book is addressed not to savants, but solely to such mea of common sense as have been drawn to consider the ques­ tion of caste. He who fights social intolerance, slavery and injustice need offer neither substitute nor constructive theory. Caste is a crippli^jg disease. The physicians duty is to guard against diseasb or destroy it. Yet no one considers the work of the physician as negative. The attainment of liberty and justice has always been a negative process. With­ out rebelling against social institutions and destroying custom there can never be the tree exercise of liberty and justice. A physician can, however, be of no use where there is no vita­ lity.

  • 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.

  • The Miser. (L'avare.) by Moliere Translated Into English Prose with a Short Introduction and Explanatory Notes
    THE MISER. (L'AVARE.) BY MOLIERE TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH PROSE WITH A SHORT INTRODUCTION AND EXPLANATORY NOTES. BY CHARLES HERON WALL This play was acted for the first time on September 9, 1668. In it, Moliere has borrowed from Plautus, and has imitated several other authors, but he far surpasses them in the treatment of his subject. The picture of the miser, in whom love of money takes the place of all natural affections, who not only withdraws from family intercourse, but considers his children as natural enemies, is finely drawn, and renders Moliere's Miser altogether more dramatic and moral than those of his predecessors. Moliere acted the part of Harpagon. PERSONS REPRESENTED. HARPAGON, father to CLEANTE, in love with MARIANNE. CLEANTE, HARPAGON'S son, lover to MARIANNE. VALERE, son to ANSELME, and lover to ELISE.

No, Valere, I do not regret what I do for you; I feel carried on by too delightful a power, and I do not even wish that things should be otherwise than they are.
