This book identifies water as the key element of Virginia Woolf's
modernist poetics. The various forms, movements, and properties of
water inspired Woolf's writing of reality, time, and bodies and
offered her an apt medium to reflect on the possibilities as well
as on the exhaustion of her art. As a deeply intertextual writer,
Woolf recognised how profoundly water has shaped human imagination
and the landscape of the literary past. In line with recent
ecocritical and ecofeminist assessments of her works, this book
also shows Woolf's attraction to water as part of an indifferent
nature that exists prior to and beyond the symbolic. Through close
analyses that span the whole of Woolf's oeuvre, and that centre on
the metaphorical and the material voices of water in her works,
Modernist Waterscapes offers a fresh perspective on a writing that
is as versatile as the element from which it draws. The monograph
addresses postgraduate students and scholars working in modernist
studies and Woolf studies in particular.
