Virginia Woolf —
Michael Malouf
12:00 PM to 01:15 PM TR —
Virginia Woolf's major novels and essays were among the most significant contributions to British art and ideas in the first half of the twentieth century. In this course, we will read her major works within three contexts: the aesthetics and ideas of the Bloomsbury group, the innovations of literary modernism, and feminist and pacifist politics. Among the topics we will consider are the relationship between visual and literary aesthetics, British imperialism and its decline, and the role modernism as an emerging cultural force in England. Texts include her memoir, Moments of Being, the novels Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, Orlando, The Waves, and her nonfiction essays: A Room of One's Own and Three Guineas.
