Autor Virginia Woolf
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 feb 2013
From the pioneering author Virginia Woolf, this pocket-sized essay transports the reader back to the 1930s as she walks through London's streets and loses herself in the imagined lives of the city's inhabitants. The narrator of this classic essay escorts the reader through the wintry streets of London on her journey to purchase a pencil. Virginia Woolf's mesmerising writing style allows the reader to delve into the minds and lives of passersby as we tour her neighbourhood. Reading as a diary entry, Street Haunting: A London Adventure includes imaginative observations and vivid reflections on city life. Woolf is widely known as one of the most influential modernist writers of the 20th century, and this classic essay offers a glimpse into the innerworkings of her brilliant mind. Republished by Read & Co. Great Essays, this pocket-sized edition of Street Haunting: A London Adventure is completed by Woolf's essay 'Evening Over Sussex: Reflections in a Motor Car'. This intimate essay is a must-read for fans of Woolf and those interested in feminist literature.

Notă biografică

Adeline Virginia Woolf (1882 - 1941) was an English writer who is considered one of the most important modernist twentieth century authors and a pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device. She was born in an affluent household in South Kensington, London, attended the Ladies' Department of King's College and was acquainted with the early reformers of women's higher education. Having been home-schooled for the most part of her childhood, mostly in English classics and Victorian literature, Woolf began writing professionally in 1900. During the interwar period, Woolf was an important part of London's literary society as well as a central figure in the group of intellectuals known as the Bloomsbury Group. She published her first novel titled The Voyage Out in 1915, through her half-brother's publishing house, Gerald Duckworth and Company. Her best-known works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928). She is also known for her essay A Room of One's Own (1929), where she wrote the much-quoted dictum, "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." Woolf became one of the central subjects of the 1970s movement of feminist criticism and her works have since garnered much attention and widespread commentary for "inspiring feminism", an aspect of her writing that was unheralded earlier. Her works are widely read all over the world and have been translated into more than fifty languages. She suffered from severe bouts of mental illness throughout her life and took her own life by drowning in 1941 at the age of 59.
