Ideas of public and private are central in Virginia Woolf's writing. She used the terms constantly, re-negotiating their meanings and significance for her, as a woman writer and public figure. This book relates them to key aspects of her feminism and writing practice, exploring their influence on her ideas about women and publishing, her conception of the reading public, her spatial politics, her distinction between public and private genres, and her narrative strategies. In the first full-length study of this aspect of Woolf's work, Anna Snaith provides an illuminating discussion of the significance of the public and private for Woolf, arguing that Woolf approached and employed the terms in complex, contingent ways. A new approach to Woolf's writing is offered, together with discussion of unpublished material: manuscript material from The Pargiters, and previously unexplored letters to Woolf, providing a fascinating insight into the socio-cultural milieu of her readership.
Industry Reviews
'The relation between public and private was a persistent concern for Virginia Woolf throughout her career. Anna Snaith's meticulous study of that relation will put it where it belongs: at the heart of a proper understanding of Woolf's work as a writer and a feminist.' - David Trotter, Professor of English, University College London '...explores Woolf's feminism and socialism, and gives a thoughtful account of her highly characteristic narrative technique...most original.' - Julia Briggs, Times Literary Supplement '...an important contribution to Woolf studies, particularly in its discussions of Woolf's feministm and pacifism, her narrative strategies, her attitudes about gender and class, and her views on history, fact and fiction.' - Diana L Swanson, N. Illinois University, Woolf Studies Annual '...some very valuable research...admirable.' - Virginia Woolf Bulletin
