Bøger af Virginia Woolf

Romanen udspiller sig på en enkelt dag: en vidunderlig sommerdag i London i begyndelsen af 1920'erne. Den dag som slutter med, at Clarissa Dalloway holder aftenselskab.Hvad romanen ikke har i ydre drama, har den i indre rigdom. I tanker og samtaler samles erindringer, håb og nederlag til et vældigt menneskeligt panorama, der udfolder sig på baggrund af et af litteraturens fineste storbyportrætter.

Mrs. Dalloway details a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a fictional high-society woman in post-First World War England. She gradually comes to admire a stranger's act, which she considers an effort to preserve his happiness.

A far cry from her wistful and introspective fiction, Woolf's essays on literature read as lively, droll, and conversational. These essays focus on famous literary figures as well as the craft of fiction; written in confident but inviting prose designed specifically for what Woolf called the common reader, they interweave biography, wit, social commentary, and literary analysis. Woolf typically seems disinterested in offering definitive arguments or reaching grand conclusions. She instead concerns herself with viewing a given writer or topic from several interpretive angles so that she might reveal as much about her subject as she can in a single essay, to a broad audience consisting of non-academic readers. Favorite essays included "Notes on an Elizabethan Play," "Modern Fiction," "Outlines," and "How it Strikes a Contemporary." (Michael)

En junidag i 1939 samles en gruppe mennesker på det engelske gods Pointz Hall for at se det årlige landsbyfestspil. Men under den idylliske og traditionsbundne begivenhed ulmer bevidstheden om den forestående verdenskrig.Sørgmodigt, humoristisk og med en kolossal sproglig kraft skildrer Woolf sine karakterer og deres bevidsthedsstrømme på denne flygtige sommerdag – deres store og små problemer og den ofte fortvivlende banalitet, der kendetegner dem.Mellem akterne blev Virginia Woolfs sidste bog, afsluttet kort før hendes selvmord i 1941. Romanen blev udgivet posthumt."...så stor lyrisk nerve, så stor og melankolsk, men også humoristisk og forløsende menneskelig indsigt, at man gribes om det, der vist ikke findes bedre ord for end hjerterødderne."- Berlingske Tidende"Mellem akterne er litteratur i særklasse ..."- Fyens Stiftstidende"En storladen og perspektivrig roman ..."- Nordjyske Stiftstidende"Raffineret og energisk"- Jyllands-Posten"Woolfs sidste roman (...) i en – fantastisk – dansk oversættelse ..."- PolitikenVirginia Woolf (25. januar 1882 – 28. marts 1941) var en engelsk forfatter og feminist.

"We are trembling on the verge of one of the great ages of English literature." - Virginia Woolf."Mrs. Dalloway was the first novel to split the atom. ... It is one of the most moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century." (Michael Cunningham, The Hours.)"It is absolutely unafraid... Here at last is a book which attains unity as surely as Wuthering Heights, though by a different path." (E. M. Forster, on The Journey Out.)"No plainer manifestation of the modernist trend in contemporary English fiction may be found than in Virginia Woolf's Jacob's Room." - The New York Times."Virginia Woolf was one of the great innovators of that decade of literary modernism, the 1920s. Novels such as Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse showed how experimental writing could reshape our sense of ordinary life. Taking unremarkable materials - preparations for a genteel party, a day on a bourgeois family holiday - they trace the flow of associations and ideas that we call 'consciousness'." - The GuardianThe Early Novels.: The Voyage Out, Night and Day, Jacob's Room, Mrs Dalloway"Mrs Dalloway ... a book for a lifetime" -- Christine Dwyer Hickey.Virginia Woolf was one of the most influential modernist writers. This volume collects four of her novels and displays her developing genius. The Voyage Out, her first novel, "captures so brilliantly the excitement of youth," and first introduces the character, Clarissa Dalloway. In Night and Day, a traditional novel with two intersecting love triangles, Woolf innovatively portrays marriage as a partnership between equals. Jacob's Room is Woolf's first experimental novel, while the semi-autobiographical Mrs Dalloway is probably Woolf's most popular novel.Virginia Woolf was a luminous novelist, a prolific essayist and book reviewer, and a diarist. With her husband Leonard, Woolf established and ran the Hogarth Press which published works by influential modernist writers. In their first five years, they published Katherine Mansfield, T. S. Eliot, E. M. Forster, Clive Bell, Roger Fry and Sigmund Freud. Woolf's haunting writing, her feminism, and her revolutionary experiments with points of view and stream of consciousness altered the course of literature.

Eric Warner places The Waves in the context of Virginia Woolf's career and of the 'modern' age in which it was written. He examines how she came to write the novel, what her concerns were at the time, and how it is linked both in style and theme with her earlier, more accessible works. A final chapter explores the problematic relation of the book to the genre of the novel.
