Virginia Woolf’s Afterlives: The Author as Character in Contemporary Fiction and Drama (Routledge Auto/Biography Studies)

Monica Latham

4.9/5 (28889 ratings)

Description:This book explores Virginia Woolf's afterlives in contemporary biographical novels and drama. It offers an extensive analysis of a wide array of literary productions in which Virginia Woolf appears as a fictional character or a dramatis persona. It examines how Woolf's physical and psychological features, as well as the values she stood for, are magnified, reinforced or distorted to serve the authors' specific agendas. Beyond general theoretical issues about this flourishing genre, this study raises specific questions about the literary and cultural relevance of Woolf's fictional representations. These contemporary narratives inform us about Woolf's iconicity, but they also mirror our current literary, cultural and political concerns. Based on a close examination of twenty-five works published between 1972 and 2019, the book surveys various portraits of Woolf as a feminist, pacifist, troubled genius, gifted innovative writer, treacherous, competitive sister and tragic, suicidal character, or, on the contrary, as a caricatural comic spirit, inspirational figure and perspicacious amateur sleuth. By resurrecting Virginia Woolf in contemporary biofiction, whether to enhance or debunk stereotypes about the historical figure, the authors studied here contribute to her continuous reinvention. Their diverse fictional portraits constitute a way to reinforce Woolf's literary status, re-evaluate her work, rejuvenate critical interpretations and augment her cultural capital in the twenty-first century.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
