REVIEWS FROM HARDBACK EDITION: 'A number of interesting and
powerful themes emerge in this study of Virginia Woolf's relation
to the literary past...The strong account of Woolf's relation to
tradition in Virginia Woolf's Novels and the Literary Past will
surely facilitate further study of the gender politics of
Modernism.' - Times Literary Supplement 'An important intervention
at a time in which there is particular interest in Woolf's
relationship to the past.' Professor Laura Marcus, University of
Sussex 'Essential and intellectually provocative reading for Woolf
scholars and for common readers alike.' Vara Neverow, University of
Connecticut Now available in paperback, this is the first book to
explore Virginia Woolf's preoccupation with the literary past and
its profound impact on the content and structure of her novels. It
analyses Woolf's reading and writing practices via her essays,
diaries and reading notebooks and presents chronological studies of
eight of her novels, exploring how Woolf's intensive reading
surfaced in her fiction. The book sheds light on Woolf's varied and
intricate use of literary allusions; examines ways in which Woolf
revisited and revised plots and tropes from earlier fiction; and
looks at how she used parody as a means both of critical comment
and homage. Key Features * The first book-length study of
intertextuality in Virginia Woolf's novels * Offers a challenging
and provocative new perspective on Woolf's art as a novelist *
Develops detailed close readings offering fresh insights into
individual works * Presents complex ideas in a lucid and accessible
fashion
