'I lay in the garden and red the Browning love letters, and the
figure of their dog made me laugh so I couldn't resist making him a
Life.' Throughout her career, Woolf invokes the animal world both
directly and metaphorically. She started to write a biography of
Elizabeth Barrett Browning's spaniel after finishing The Waves,
tracing the life of the spaniel from his country origins, his
puppyhood spent with the writer Mary Mitford, through his sheltered
existence with Elizabeth Barrett in her sick room, and later
travels in Florence. But Flush is much more than a playful writer's
holiday. As well as offering an exploration of a life of the senses
free from the tyranny of words, Flush can be read as an allegorical
testimony to the inscrutable, discarded, unrepresentable lives of
the Victorian women poets, who were barely discussed or read in the
1930s. From a quite literally low point of view, Woolf explores
class and gender in Victorian London, with gently mocking humour.
Charming yet also radical, Flush is a work of sensuous imagination,
an apparently light text that opens up a range of questions
concerning difference which are woven through the whole of Woolf's
writing. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's
Classics has made available the widest range of literature from
around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's
commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a
wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions
by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text,
up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
