STUDYING VIRGINIA WOOLF - 5^C LINGUISTICO

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was an English novelist, essayist, biographer, and feminist. She was a prolific writer, whose modernist style changed with each new novel. Her letters and memoirs reveal glimpses of Virginia Woolf at the center of English literary culture during the Bloomsbury era. She represents a historical moment when art was integrated into society, as T.S. Eliot describes in his obituary for Virginia. “Without Virginia Woolf at the center of it, it would have remained formless or marginal … With the death of Virginia Woolf, a whole pattern of culture is broken.”  Read here.

JANE AUSTEN AND THE NOVEL OF MANNERS - 5^C LINGUISTICO

Jane Austen’s novels are unrivalled for their success in combining two sorts of excellence that all too seldom coexist. Meticulously conscious of her artistry, she is also constantly attentive to the realities of ordinary human existence. From the first, her works unite subtlety and common sense, good humour and acute moral judgment, charm and conciseness, deftly marshalled incidents and carefully rounded characters.

Jane Austen’s critics have spoken of her as a “limited” novelist, one who, writing in an age of great men and important events, portrays small towns and petty concerns, who knows (or reveals) nothing of masculine occupations and ideas, and who reduces the range of feminine thought and deed to matrimonial scheming and social pleasantry. Read here.
