In the mid-twentieth century, Virginia Woolf published 'Six
Articles on London Life' in Good Housekeeping magazine, a popular
magazine where fashion, cookery and house decoration is largely
featured. This first book-length study of what Woolf calls 'little
articles' proposes to reassess the commissioned essays and read
them in a chronological sequence in their original context as well
as in the larger context of Woolf's work. Drawing primarily on
literary theory, intermedial studies, periodical studies and
philosophy, this volume argues the essays which provided an
original guided tour of London are creative and innovative works,
combining several art forms while developing a photographic method.
Further investigation examines the construct of Woolf's essays as
intermedial and as partaking both of theory and praxis;
intermediality is closely connected here with her defense of a
democratic ideal, itself grounded in a dialogue with her forebears.
Far from being second-rate, the Good Housekeeping essays bring
together aesthetic and political concerns and come out as playing a
pivotal role: they redefine the essay as intermedial, signal
Woolf's turn to a more openly committed form of writing, and fit
perfectly within Woolf's essayistic and fictional oeuvre which they
in turn illuminate.
