The Writings of Virginia Woolf [Autumn & Spring]
This course follows the chronological pattern of Woolf's development
as a novelist, exploring the ways in which her writing offers innovative designs
with the narrative form and its contribution to the English novel. We will consider
the importance of gender on Woolf's writing and the ways in which her work asks
us to think about what it meant and means to be a woman and a writer, as well
as examine the different issues which are raised in looking at Woolf's legacy
to feminism. The emphasis of this course is textual, although significant events
in Woolf's life, the social and literary contexts of her work, and how she has
been read and critically received during the century will also be considered.
The course will take a study trip which includes visits to Monk's House, Virginia
and Leonard Woolf's Sussex home, and Charleston Farmhouse, the nearby home of
Vanessa Bell (Virginia Woolf's sister) which provide valuable insights into
their life-styles and preoccupations.
