Product Description

Review
"...first-rate collection of original essays...[The Cambridge Companion to Virginia Woolf] is highly recommended for upper-division undergraduate and graduate level course work." Choice

Product Description
Virginia Woolf is now hailed as one of the greatest, most innovative writers of our age. This landmark collection of essays by leading scholars in the field addresses the full range of her intellectual perspectives - literary, artistic, philosophical and political. The Cambridge Companion to Virginia Woolf provides original, new readings of all nine novels and fresh insight into Woolf’s letters, diaries and essays allowing easy reference to individual themes and texts. The progress of Woolf’s thinking is revealed from Bloomsbury aestheticism through her hatred of censorship, corruption and hierarchy to her concern with all aspects of modernism. The volume reflects the changing face of Woolf scholarship especially in the light of new feminist approaches, and explores the immense range of social and political issues behind her ongoing search for new narrative forms.

5.0 out of 5 stars Massively useful, 9 Sep 2008
By Philip Hale "halep09" (Somerset) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
If you need critical opinion on Virginia Woolf, buy this book. i was originally apprehensive because thee wasn't much that directly referred to my coursework book, The Waves. Nevertheless, there's plenty of opinion to draw from, and the critics inside are not always raging Modernist / Feminist sympathisers. There's some nice subtle criticism of Woolf's snobbery and general superiority complex that can be drawn on for counter arguments.

Of course, not everyone buys books like this for academic purposes. The essays don;t require any particular expertise in language (like for example some of the material written on structuralists, decostructionism, unanimism etc...). The essays were most useful in forcing me to view Woolf's essays and fiction critically. It's very easy to agree with some of the points made in her fiction without stepping back and asking "who is she to disregard a whole generation of literature?"

Helped me with A2 English Literature Coursework, will no doubt be suitable for university work, etc. Thanks Amazon!
