Virginia Woolf’s Unwritten Histories: Conversations with the Nineteenth Century (Among the Victorians and Modernists)

Anne Besnault

4.9/5 (13813 ratings)

Description:Virginia Woolf's Unwritten Histories explores the interrelatedness of Woolf's modernism, feminism, and her understanding of history as a site of knowledge and a writing practice that　enabled her　to negotiate her heritage,　to find her place among the moderns as a female artist and intellectual, and to elaborate her poetics of the "new": not as radical rupture but as the result of a process of unwriting and rewriting "traditional" historiographical orthodoxies. Its central argument is that unless we comprehend the genealogy of Woolf's historical thought and the complexity of its lineage, we cannot fully grasp the innovative thrust of her attempt to "think back through our mothers." Bringing together canonical texts such as Orlando (1928), A Room of One's Own (1929), Three Guineas (1938) or Between the Acts (1941) and under-researched ones -- among which stand Woolf's essays on historians and reviews of history books and her pieces on literary history and nineteenth-century women's literature -- this book argues that Woolf's textual "conversations" with nineteenth-century writers, historians and critics, many of which remain unexplored, are interwoven with her historiographical poeisis and constitute the groundwork for her alternative histories and literary histories: "unwritten," open-textured, unacademic and polemical counter-narratives that keep track of the past and engage politically with the future.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
