Описание: Katherine Hilbery, torn between past and present, is a figure reflecting Woolf's own struggle with history. Both have illustrious literary ancestors: in Katherine's case, her poet grandfather, and in Woolf's, her father Leslie Stephen, writer, philosopher, and editor. Both desire to break away from the demands of the previous generation without disowning it altogether.

Katherine must decide whether or not she loves the iconoclastic Ralph Denham; Woolf seeks a way of experimenting with the novel for that still allows her to express her affection for the literature of the past. This is the most traditional of Woolf's novels, yet even here we can see her beginning to break free; in this, her second novel, with its strange mixture of comedy and high seriousness, Woolf had already found her own characteristic voice.

Описание: What exactly is goodness? Where is it found in the literary imagination? Toni Morrison, one of American letters’ greatest voices, pondered these perplexing questions in her celebrated Ingersoll Lecture, delivered at Harvard University in 2012 and published now for the first time.Perhaps because it is overshadowed by the more easily defined evil, goodness often escapes our attention. Recalling many literary examples, from Ahab to Coetzee’s Michael K, Morrison seeks the essence of goodness and ponders its significant place in her writing. She considers the concept in relation to unforgettable characters from her own works of fiction and arrives at conclusions that are both eloquent and edifying. In a lively interview conducted for this book, Morrison further elaborates on her lecture’s ideas, discussing goodness not only in literature but in society and history—particularly black history, which has responded to centuries of brutality with profound creativity.Morrison’s essay is followed by a Series of responses by scholars in the fields of religion, ethics, history, and literature to her thoughts on goodness and evil, mercy and love, racism and self-destruction, Language and liberation, together with close examination of literary and theoretical expressions from her works. Each of these contributions, written by a scholar of religion, considers the legacy of slavery and how it continues to shape our memories, our complicities, our outcries, our lives, our communities, our literature, and our faith. In addition, the Contributors engage the religious orientation in Morrison’s novels so that readers who encounter her many memorable characters such as Sula, Beloved, or Frank Money will learn and appreciate how Morrison’s notions of goodness and mercy also reflect her understanding of the sacred and the human spirit.

Описание: The fifteen stories in this volume include the only collection of short fiction Woolf published in her lifetime, the eight stories published as `Monday and Tuesday`, together with seven later stories. Without these bold and experimental forays into the short story she would never have become the great modernist novelist. Essential to her development as a novelist, these stories are among the most interesting and accomplished fictions she wrote.

Описание: During the period in which these essays were written, Woolf published Night and Day and Jacob's Room, contributed widely to British and American periodicals, and progressed from straight reviewing to more extended critical essays. "Excellently edited, the essays reconfirm [Woolf's] major importance as a twentieth-century writer" (Library Journal).

Описание: Hailed as being among the most influential modernist authors of the 20th century, Woolf was a central figure in the feminist criticism movement of the 1970s whose works inspired countless women to take up the cause. Primarily, Woolf communicated her ideas through her essays, the most famous being "A Room of One's Own" (1929) which explored social injustices and women's lack of free expression. This volume contains an extensive collection of Woolf's seminal essays covering a range of subjects from feminism to biography. Contents include: "Virginia Woolf", "Joseph Conrad", "'Jane Eyre' and 'Wuthering Heights'", "Henry James: The Old Order", "Henry James: Within the Rim", "Modern Fiction", "Defoe", "Addison", "The Letters of Henry James", "Rambling Round Evelyn", "To Spain", "Sir Walter Scott. The Antiquary", "The Enchanted Organ", etc. A must-have collection for those with a keen interest in feminist literature. Adeline Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was an English writer. She suffered numerous nervous breakdowns during her life primarily as a result of the deaths of family members, and it is now believed that she may have suffered from bipolar disorder. In 1941, Woolf drowned herself in the River Ouse at Lewes, aged 59. Other notable works by this author include: "To the Lighthouse" (1927), "Orlando" (1928), and "A Room of One's Own" (1929). Read & Co. Great Essays is proudly publishing this brand new collection of classic essays now complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
