Produkt beskrivelse

This book provides a fascinating account of rooms in selected works by Virginia Woolf. Casting them as spaces which are at once material, textual and emotional, the volume shows Woolfâ¤s rooms to be consistently connected to wider geographies of modernity and therefore central to her writing of gender, class, empire and the nation. The discussion moves â¤?in and out of rooms,⤠from the focus on travel in Woolfâ¤s debut novel, to the archival function of built space and literary heritage in Night and Day, the university as a male space of learning in Jacobâ¤s Room, the iconic A Room of Oneâ¤s Own and its historical readers, interior space as spatial history in The Years, and rooms as loci of memory in her unfinished memoir. Zink masterfully shows the spatial formation of rooms to be at the heart of Woolfâ¤s interweaving of the political and the aesthetic, revealing an understanding of space as dynamic and relational.
