Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Cologne, course: Waste Lands: Experience of Modernism , language: English, abstract: Virginia Woolf is regarded as one of the great writers in modern fiction. She wrote innovative pieces of fiction for she used the stream-of-consciousness and experimented with different point of views. Furthermore, the treatment of time is an important issue in her fiction as she broke with the traditional chronological narration. This paper will discuss Virginia Woolf’s concepts of time theoretically and in her novels Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse. First of all, it is necessary to understand that time itself is and has always been a problematic concept which has been subject to philosophical discussion. People have been obsessed with control and domination of time. They measure it and create linear segments, such as days, minutes and seconds. In Modernism, new concepts of time came up and especially the concepts of time by Henri Bergson influenced the writers of Modernism. Woolf as a modern writer and critic was strongly influenced by these new concepts. This can be seen in her experimental fiction and her usage of time in her novels. Therefore, a brief outline of the main characteristics of Modernism will be given to understand the context in which the discussion is embedded. Furthermore, Henri Bergson’s concepts of time will be presented briefly as they have been the most influential in modern fiction. Finally, Woolf’s own theoretical concepts of time will be explained. She concentrated especially on the distinction between moments of being and non-being which will be defined. In the following, it will be examined how she applied these concepts of time in two of her novels. Mrs Dalloway, published in 1925, and To the Lighthouse, written and published after Mrs Dalloway in 1927, will be analysed with a special focus on the treatment of time. It will be examined how time influences the structures of the novels and how its dimensions, past and present, are treated. Especially past times effecting present situation and present moments evoking past memories are of importance. Furthermore, this paper will identify moments of being in the novels and analyse how they are perceived in respect to time. Finally, the treatment of time in the two novels will be compared. It will be examined if there is a development in her concepts and if so, the changes will be highlighted.

Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1.0, Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg (Institut für fremdsprachliche Philologien), 13 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Virginia Woolf took her life in March 1941. Her fear that she would no longer be able to live meaningfully, according to her ideals and particular vision of life, forced her to choose death as salvation. To her, death was not an ending. The spirit above all had to be preserved. Like her character Septimus Warren Smith, under the strain of mental illness, she threw her life away in order to preserve that which was most sacred to her - life and integrity of the soul. Probably it seems to be a contradiction - to destroy one's life in an effort to save it. There are many such paradoxes in Virginia Woolf's thinking, due to her emotional nature and to her special way of looking at life, time, and space that shapes reality itself. In this vision of life as an eternal process, the concepts of time and space, invented by man, have no meaning, because reality exists outside of them. By passing his temporal life man views all things in relation to himself and his life on the earth. But it is rather difficult to squeeze one's life among birth and death, for man permanently organises his experience into rather relative formulations of interweaving time and space. And reality, as viewed by Virginia Woolf, includes the whole expanse of space and time, and every living form brings its historic and prehistoric past into the ever-flowing stream of life. The present moment is never isolated, because it is filled with very preceding moment, and is constantly in the process of change. Time flows with the stream, having neither beginning nor end. Reality is actually timeless and spaceless, because it contains all space and all time. Believing in the eternal process, Virginia Woolf also demanded a revolution in literary technique

To the Lighthouse. Most of the adult characters fixate on the concept of time in one way or another. Mrs. Ramsay cannot help but notice that the present moment becomes the past, and she seeks objects in the external world to ground her in the moment.

Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 2.3, University of Regensburg (Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Proseminar Virginia Woolf und Jeanette Winterson, language: English, abstract: “I believe that all novels, that is to say, deal with character, and that it is to express character- not to preach doctrines, sing songs, or celebrate the glories of the British Empire, that the form of the novels, so clumsy, verbose, and undramatic, so rich and unelastic, and alive, has been evolved. To express character, I have said.“ Virginia Woolf made this “character expressing” to the centre of her work and brought it to perfection in her late novels. She began using a stream technique in Jacob’s Room to describe characters’ thoughts and feelings. In phase II she built her novels on characters’ thoughts, formed the plot through description and characters mind progression. In To The Lighthouse Woolf let the plot progress through the developments of character. The Waves completely relies on the description of the characters’ minds and is phase III of her development. “She reaches perfection in characters’ thought and mind description” through the “stream of consciousness.” The purpose of this work is to cover a basic approach on the stream technique Woolf uses in her novels, as well as embed some text passages in the psychological background William James and Henri Bergson gave in their theories. Bergson and James are both psychologists who gave way to theories oftime and duration, as well as to the theory of consciousness. Bergson, who was senior of William James, was highly influenced by James’ work and it is said that Bergson’s writing of Les données immédiates de la conscience was influenced by James’ article “On Some Omissions of Introspective Psychology”. Concurrently Bergson was highly regarded by James: “So modest and unpretending a man but such a genius intellectually! I have the strongest suspicions that the tendency which he has brought to a focus, will end by prevailing,(...)“ Consequently it is obligatory to combine Woolf’s ideas of character description and her stream technique, with which she provides an insight into the character, with James’ and Bergson’s work. This can of course not be done in extenso on the following pages but I am trying to give an overview what we can deplore behind the surface of Woolf’s work.

This book identifies water as the key element of Virginia Woolf’s modernist poetics. The various forms, movements, and properties of water inspired Woolf’s writing of reality, time, and bodies and offered her an apt medium to reflect on the possibilities as well as on the exhaustion of her art. As a deeply intertextual writer, Woolf recognised how profoundly water has shaped human imagination and the landscape of the literary past. In line with recent ecocritical and ecofeminist assessments of her works, this book also shows Woolf’s attraction to water as part of an indifferent nature that exists prior to and beyond the symbolic. Through close analyses that span the whole of Woolf’s oeuvre, and that centre on the metaphorical and the material voices of water in her works, Modernist Waterscapes offers a fresh perspective on a writing that is as versatile as the element from which it draws. The monograph addresses postgraduate students and scholars working in modernist studies and Woolf studies in particular.

Virginia Woolf was a talented and indefatigable writer. She was a very serious and conscious artist, interested more in the life of the mind - in sensation, thoughts, feelings, intuitions - than in the life of external action. Being an artist of great insight and penetration, she painted a picture of real life as she saw it. In her desire to paint reality she broke with the traditions and conventions of the 19th century novel. Anita Desai is also an indisputably one of the most powerful and distinguished contemporary Indian novelists in English. A novelist of considerable merit, Anita Desai has enriched the tradition of the Indian novel in English. She is a conscious artist of a high order and her concern for human has imparted profound appeal to her novels. Anita Desai, in contrast with other women novelists is more interested in the interior landscape of the mind, the thought than in political and social realities. Thus, Virginia Woolf and Anita Desai are two great artists in the realm of English fiction. Both are rooted in two totally different milieus, yet the works of two share not only in structure and themes but also in imagery, style and technique. The study of the impact of Virginia Woolf on Anita Desai provides a very fascinating and rewarding experience. Anita Desai and Virginia Woolf have taken deep interest in depicting the family structure. These two writers have their thematic nexus on the familial relationship. It is the depiction of the familial relationships, which binds the two novelists with each other in a strong bond. Though these two great writers, Woolf and Desai are from two different centuries and countries, the works of two shares in the structure, themes like loneliness, isolation, death etc. and imagery. Also, in the novels of both, there is a major role of ‘time and memory’. This book makes a modest attempt to focus attention upon the impact of Woolf on Desai. In both Woolf and Desai, we find an almost obsessive involvement with the characters’ past as a key to their consciousness, their lives. A pre-occupation with nostalgia and memory thus becomes an integral part of their craft. But these are not used as things in themselves. They are used artistically both for thematic as well as formal purposes. A careful study of the novels makes us understand how they are made to function as artistic tools. This book particularly, highlights the impact of Virginia Woolf on Anita Desai, with respect to three novels of each. These are - I) Mrs. Dalloway and Cry, the Peacock II) To the Lighthouse and Clear Light of Day III) The Waves and Fire on the Mountain I record my gratefulness to the principal of J.E.S. College, Jalna- Dr. R. S. Agrawal, Head of the Department of English- M.A. Sami Siddiqui for support and encouragement at every stage of my work. I also offer my sincere thanks to the senior teachers of my Department for their valuable suggestions. I feel deeply to put into words my sense of thankfulness to my parents and family. I am thankful to Rut Printer and Publisher and Dr. U. P. Mogle for the valuable work help to design and print. Dr. Varsha P. Zanwar

Put simply, refraction describes a change in the direction of light or sound due to a change in the medium the light or sound goes through. Writing a Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis means changing the direction of light shed on a particular text or topic, as the theses collected in this volume conclusively show: A dystopian novel is shown to hinge on questions of animal rights; a complex novelistic structure is revealed to have its origins in scientific discourses; a clearly Gothic novel has its foundation in aesthetic Christianity, to outline just some of the topics. All these papers have in common that they take a well-known text or idea and change the angle through which it is read and analysed – and suddenly a rainbow of new insights is created.
