"Eileen Barrett and Patricia Cramer have put together an excellent
collection of original articles which demonstrates the range of
lesbian literary scholarship as a field and the important nuance
and insight it is contributing to our knowledge of Woolf's life and
writing in particular."--"Woolf Studies Annual"
The last two decades have seen a resurgence of critical and
popular attention to Virginia Woolf's life and work. Such
traditional institutions as "The New York Review of Books" now pair
her with William Shakespeare in promotional advertisements; her
face is used to sell everything from Barnes & Noble books to
Bass Ale.
Virginia Woolf: Lesbian Readings represents the first book
devoted to Woolf's lesbianism. Divided into two sections, Lesbian
Intersections and Lesbian Readings of Woolf's Novels, these essays
focus on how Woolf's private and public experience and knowledge of
same-sex love influences her shorter fiction and novels. Lesbian
Intersections includes personal narratives that trace the
experience of reading Woolf through the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s.
Lesbian Readings of Woolf's Novels provides lesbian interpretations
of the individual novels, including "Orlando, The Waves," and "The
Years,"
Breaking new ground in our understanding of the role Woolf's
love for women plays in her major writing, these essays shift the
emphasis of lesbian interpretations from Woolf's life to her
work.
