First published in 1954, East-West Passage is a detailed study of the literary relationship between Russia and the West. Divided into two parts, the book focuses both on specific literary connections, as well as on broader social and political considerations. It traces the gradual increase in awareness of Russian literature in England and the United States through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and considers the material that emerged in response, such as doctoral dissertations and critical essays. The volume highlights changes in literary tastes over the years, and explores in detail Russia’s influence on the West. East-West Passage is ideal for those with an interest in the history of literature, as well as social and cultural history.
Originally published in 1962, Virginia Woolf, provides a commentary on the literary work of Virginia Woolf - examining not only her the novels, but also the considerable body of criticism surrounding her work. Along with the essential biographical details of Woolf, the books recreates the atmosphere of 'the Bloomsbury Group' and gives us a valuable insight into a very rich period of English literature, involving such figures as Leslie Stephen, Leonard Woolf, Clive Bell, Desmond MacCarthy, Christopher Isherwood, David Garnett and others. The book provides a comprehensive account of Virginia Woolf's body of work and will be of interest to academics and students alike.
First published in 1959, Virginia Woolf's London takes the reader on a tour of London with Mrs. Woolf. However, this book is much more than a literary sightseeing tour, enjoyable though that is. As scholar and critic, Dr. Brewster shows how Mrs. Woolf has used London as atmosphere, theme, and even motivating force throughout her writing. In some ways, the late novel The Years was a climax in a long succession of 'experiments in using London impressions in interrogating the inner and outer aspects of experience.' This book begins and ends an era in the history of the great city which many will appreciate, from the beginning of the 20th century, when a 23-year-old Virginia published an article on 'London Street Music,' to the blitz of 1940 and 1941, when, as some poignant passages in her Diary reveal, the mature novelist saw her city being battered and burned. A book for all those who love both London and literature.
