For students of modern literature, the works of Virginia Woolf are essential reading. In her novels, short stories, essays, polemical pamphlets and in her private letters she explored, questioned and refashioned everything about modern life: cinema, sexuality, shopping, education, feminism, politics and war. Her elegant and startlingly original sentences became a model of modernist prose. This is a clear and informative introduction to Woolf's life, works, and cultural and critical contexts, explaining the importance of the Bloomsbury group in the development of her work. It covers the major works in detail, including To the Lighthouse, Mrs Dalloway, The Waves and the key short stories. As well as providing students with the essential information needed to study Woolf, Jane Goldman suggests further reading to allow students to find their way through the most important critical works. All students of Woolf will find this a useful and illuminating overview of the field.

Virginia Woolf’s Microgenesis engages with Virginia Woolf’s writings in the context of her own unique methodological approach to mind, to meaning, and to making whole. This volume argues that this preoccupation with the metaphysics of “wholeness,” a dread, indeed, of both fragmentation and what endures as an organic unity, places Woolf’s writings alongside Jason Brown’s microgenesis, formulated as a formative, emergent, and dynamic process of cognitive activity. However, crucially, it is not by assembling multiple flows of sense data into more complex constructions that we might perceive the objective world but by sculpting away the unfit to reveal the structure of the world as a surfacing reality. In so many ways, Woolf’s novels represent an enactment of microgenetic theory, demonstrating and alerting us to the mind/brain state as a process of continual unfolding through progressive differentiation and discrimination to a distinct configuration – albeit one which may be deemed imperfect. That is not to say that Woolf’s fictions should be understood as anticipating Brown’s formulation of microgenetic theory as such but that they should be understood as illuminating the adaptive and evolutionary significance, and signification, of perceptual microgenesis in her various modes of theorisation – that is, her processes of tunnelling and transmuting, moments of being/nonbeing, and depth‐and‐surface. If ontogeny (individual development) recapitulates phylogeny (species development), this volume demonstrates that Woolf provides the momentariness of microgenesis to her fictions, a process which recapitulates both. Virginia Woolf’s Microgenesis is essential reading for researchers and students in Woolf Studies, process philosophy, new materialisms, literary theory, and modernist literature.

Virginia Woolf’s Unwritten Histories explores the interrelatedness of Woolf’s modernism, feminism and her understanding of history as a site of knowledge and a writing practice that enabled her to negotiate her heritage, to find her place among the moderns as a female artist and intellectual, and to elaborate her poetics of the "new": not as radical rupture but as the result of a process of unwriting and rewriting "traditional" historiographical orthodoxies. Its central argument is that unless we comprehend the genealogy of Woolf’s historical thought and the complexity of its lineage, we cannot fully grasp the innovative thrust of her attempt to "think back through our mothers." Bringing together canonical texts such as Orlando (1928), A Room of One’s Own (1929), Three Guineas (1938) or Between the Acts (1941) and under-researched ones — among which stand Woolf’s essays on historians and reviews of history books and her pieces on literary history and nineteenth-century women’s literature — this book argues that Woolf’s textual "conversations" with nineteenth-century writers, historians and critics, many of which remain unexplored, are interwoven with her historiographical poiesis and constitute the groundwork for her alternative histories and literary histories: "unwritten," open-textured, unacademic and polemical counter-narratives that keep track of the past and engage politically with the future.

Motherhood is a recurrent theme in Virginia Woolf's writing yet Woolf scholarship has often overlooked this dynamic subject. Exploring how Woolf engaged with themes of motherhood as a socially and politically motivated writer and a woman, this book grounds her work in the maternal discourses of her time. By reading Woolf's texts in dialogue with contemporary writing, socio-political events and medical and scientific advances, Virginia Woolf and Motherhood establishes the significance of maternity across Woolf's oeuvre and exposes how public and personal matters of motherhood informed the links she drew between maternity, femininity, self-worth and artistry. With novel analysis of Woolf's writing on war, eugenics, food and psychoanalysis, Charlotte Taylor Suppe demonstrates the substantive influence maternal discourses had on shaping Woolf's feminism, political beliefs and creative practices.
