Samenvatting
A CLASSIC FEMINIST POLEMIC WITH ENDURING RELEVANCE
Since its publication in 1929, Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own has resonated with women around the world. Citing Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, and the fate of Shakespeare’s gifted (imaginary) sister, Woolf’s classic text reminds us of the supreme value of financial and social independence, and equality, in the creation of art and literature.
An insightful introduction by Jessica Gildersleeve connects the themes of the text to today’s audience, and reveals Woolf’s contribution to modernist literature. Now, a new generation of readers has the opportunity to discover a work that has stood the test of time.
Discover Virginia Woolf's landmark essay on women’s struggle for independence and creative opportunity
A Room of One's Own is one of Virginia Woolf's most influential works and widely recognized for its extraordinary contribution to the women's movement. Based on a lecture given at Girton College, Cambridge, it is one of the great feminist polemics, ranging in its themes from Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë to the silent fate of Shakespeare's gifted (imaginary) sister, and the effects of poverty and sexual constraint on female creativity. The work was ranked by The Guardian newspaper as number 45 in the 100 World's Best Non-fiction Books. Part of the bestselling Capstone series, this collectible, hard-back edition of A Room of One’s Own includes an insightful introduction by Jessica Gildersleeve that explains the book's place in modernist literature and why it still resonates with contemporary readers.
Born in 1882, Virginia Woolf was one of the most forward-thinking English writers of her time. Author of the classic novels Mrs Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927), she was also a prolific writer of essays, diaries, letters and biographies, and a member of the celebrated Bloomsbury Set of intellectuals and artists.
