Virginia Woolf and the Victorians

Meer over het boek

Exploring Virginia Woolf's complex relationship with Victorian culture, the author argues that her work reflects both a commitment to modernity and a nostalgia for the Victorian era. Through an analysis of Woolf's fiction and writings, the book positions her as more 'Post-Victorian' than purely modernist. It addresses her responses to societal changes and the impact of the First World War on her views of continuity and reconciliation, offering a fresh perspective on her literary engagement with cultural and political history.
