After the Modernist literary experiments of her earlier work,
Virginia Woolf became increasingly concerned with overt social and
political commentary in her later writings, which are preoccupied
with dissecting the links between patriarchy, patriotism,
imperialism and war. This book unravels the complex textual
histories of "The Years" (1937), "Three Guineas "(1938) and
"Between the Acts" (1941) to expose the genesis and evolution of
Virginia Woolf's late cultural criticism. Fusing a
feminist-historicist approach with the practices and principles of
genetic criticism, this innovative study scrutinizes a range of
holograph, typescript and proof documents within their historical
context to uncover the writing and thinking processes that produced
Woolf's cultural analysis during 1931-1941. By demonstrating that
Woolf's late cultural criticism developed through her literary
experimentalism as well as in response to contemporary social,
political and economic upheavals, this book offers a fresh
perspective on her emergence as a cultural commentator in her final
decade and paves the way for further genetic enquiries in the
field.
