Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf...Her Contemporary Male Writers--A Feminist for the Ages...
2017Amazonで購入
This is the second book by Phyllis Rose that I have purchased and read...the first was her 'Five Victorian Marriages', and this one was just as good, if not better, than the 'Victorian Marriages'. I must say that she has great style and clarity, and knows how to really prioritize what's important in writing about her subject matter. I am trying to fill in many literary, philosophical, scientific, historical and cultural knowledge gaps, and Virginia Woolf is just one of the many authors whom I am vaguely acquainted with, have read her most famous novels, but would like to know more about in detail...her life, her own personal history, and the historical, political, and cultural context of her literature. This book by Ms. Rose does all of this wonderfully, and in such an enlightening and entertaining way, with such great prose and insights...insights into the author, insight into the socio-economic milieu, the patriarchal and feminist milieus, the historical time period in Great Britain (Victorian...and what that really meant for men, women, families; social, class, and professional constraints for females in particular), and for her last few years, the huge impact that the looming World War deux had on her outlook and her decision to end her life. I enjoyed every minute reading this book, and although I am not normally one to reread a novel, this is one that I relish rereading again, and maybe even again.

A book worth reading
2013Amazonで購入
I read this book after watching the author participate in a panel discussion on BookTV, and because I had always been curious at to who Virginia Wolff actually was.
The topic of the discussion was, "How biography and autobiography can be viewed as fiction", because the views of the author seem to shine through in such a book.
That's certainly true; you can read two Jefferson biographies and think you were reading about two different people.
I vaguely knew that Wolff was a member of the "Bloomsbury Group", and a Fabian socialist.
I did NOT know she was a famous author, a lesbian, an aggressive feminist, nor that she died a suicide and apparently suffered from schizophrenia, and that most of the adult men in her life were homosexuals.
It is obvious that the author is very taken with Wolff, and as a college professor of English, spends most of her energy dissecting the novels Wolff wrote in an attempt to explain her philosophy and her views.
Rose describes Wolff as a "lyrical" writer, more or less her prose is semi-poetry.
This biography is written in the same style.
Usually preferring non-fiction books, I was a first a bit turned off. But since Phyllis Rose is such a terrific author, I actually enjoyed reading it, dictionary in hand.
In the end, though, I think I learned more about Phyllis Rose and how her university classroom must be.
But I still recommend the book, for reasons I've written.

interesting, entertaining, accessible

I loved this book. I had not yet read Virginia Woolf, but that didn't matter as I read this book. When I finished it, I read A Room of One's Own and am just about to read Mrs. Dalloway. Phyllis Rose is a wonderful writer - it feels like she is talking directly to the reader, like the favorite teacher I had in school, making her material so accessible and interesting (she is a thorough researcher), and with the bonus of humor here and there. Not many authors can bring such a vision of an author and her works in less than 270 pages!
I highly recommend Woman of Letters, as well as Phyllis Rose's more recent book The Year of Reading Proust.

A discussion of the work in relation to life
2019Amazonで購入
This book is different from other Woolf biographies because it focuses on Woolf's work in relation to her life and her influences.
