Virginia Woolf is one of the best-known and most influential
modernist writers; an iconic figure, her image and reference to her
work and life appear in the most varied of cultural sites. Her
writing is, however, in many ways kaleidoscopic and has given rise
to a diverse and, sometimes, conflicting body of critical work.
Whilst Woolf envisaged that her readers could be 'fellow-worker s]'
in the creative process, there is much to perplex any reader
approaching her writing, especially for the first time. Drawing on
some of the main critical debates and on Woolf's non-fictional
writings, this Guide untangles some of the difficulties and
perplexities that can prove a barrier to understanding of Woolf's
writing. These include aspects of the process of writing (such as
narrative techniques, formal structures, characterisation), as well
as the thematic concerns so central to Woolf's writing, the
cultural context in which it emerged and to recent criticism,
including representations of gender and sexuality, class and race.
