Essays & Criticism of Contemporary Poetry and Literary Fiction
teacher, edu-nerd, learner
Making Figures sounds interesting. Woolf is experiencing a new wave of interest in her work. Currently reading essays by Jane Marcus, who says that a criticism of her work is not complete without reading the various drafts of any of the finished works. Apparently the drafts were more volatile but got edited and redrafted into a polished product. I love her sister’s (Vanessa Bell) paintings.
I’m pursuing Bell paintings straightaway! I have also noticed an increase in Woolf attention, and Beckett! (yippee!). thanks
I’m going to confess, reading Mrs Dalloway by V Woolf was a chore. Am dutifully reading the rest of her oevre to get a broader impression of her work.
