The category of vision is significant for Modernist texts as well
as for the unfolding discourse of Modernism itself. Within the
general Modernist fascination with the artistic and experimental
possibilities of vision and perception this study looks at Virginia
Woolf's novels and her critical writings and examines the relation
between visuality and aesthetics. An aesthetics of vision, as this
study argues, becomes a productive principle of narrative. The
visual is not only pertinent to Woolf's processes of composition,
but her works create a kind of vision that is proper to the text
itself - a vision that reflects on the experience of seeing and
renegotiates the relation between the reader and the text. The
study investigates key dimensions of aesthetic vision. It addresses
vision in the context of theories of aesthetic experience and
identifies a semantics of seeing. It analyses functions of symbolic
materiality in the presentation of boundaries of perception, modes
of temporality and poetic potentialities. In exploring the
connections between vision and language, it seeks to provide new
perspectives for a reassessment of what occurs in Modernism's
relation to vision.
