This study is a groundbreaking investigation into the formative
influence of music on Virginia Woolf's writing. In this unique
study Emma Sutton discusses all of Woolf's novels as well as
selected essays and short fiction, offering detailed commentaries
on Woolf's numerous allusions to classical repertoire and to
composers including Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Wagner. Sutton
explores Woolf's interest in the contested relationship between
politics and music, placing her work in a matrix of ideas about
music and national identity, class, anti Semitism, pacifism,
sexuality and gender. The study also considers the formal influence
of music - from fugue to Romantic opera - on Woolf's prose and
narrative techniques. The analysis of music's role in Woolf's
aesthetics and fiction is contextualized in accounts of her musical
education, activities as a listener, and friendships with
musicians; and the study outlines the relationship between her
'musicalized' work and that of contemporaries including Joyce,
Lawrence, Forster, Mansfield and Eliot. It analysis of music,
national identity and war in The Voyage Out, Jacobs Room and Mrs
Dalloway. It offers a close reading of Wagner's influence on the
plot and narrative techniques of The Voyage Out. It analysis of
music and philo and anti Semitism in The Years. It offers
innovative reading of the 'fugal' structure of Mrs Dalloway.
