Sobre aquest llibre
In 'The Common Reader - Second Series,' Virginia Woolf delves into the literary landscape with her distinctive blend of critical analysis and personal reflection. This collection of essays, published in 1935, showcases Woolf's keen intellect and lyrical prose as she crafts insightful commentaries on a range of authors, from canonical giants like John Keats to lesser-known figures. Woolf's literary style is characterized by her nuanced understanding of the reading experience, offering readers a chance to appreciate literature's intrinsic value while encouraging a dialogue between the reader and the text within the context of interwar British society and evolving cultural discourses. Virginia Woolf, a central figure in modernist literature, drew upon her own rich reading experiences and feminist perspectives to shape this work. Her background within the Bloomsbury Group, a collective of writers and intellectuals, influenced her literary voice and commitment to exploring the complexities of identity and creativity. Woolf's personal struggles and her advocacy for women's rights intertwined with her literary pursuits, leading her to craft essays that not only illuminate literary works but also elevate the act of reading itself. This book is essential for anyone inclined towards literary criticism, offering a compelling exploration of the relationship between literature and the common reader. Woolf's eloquence and perceptive analyses make this collection not only engaging but also intellectually enriching. It invites readers to reflect on their own literary journeys while uncovering the multifaceted dimensions of the texts she discusses.
Sobre l'autor
Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was an iconic English writer, a pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device, and a central figure of the Bloomsbury Group. Woolf's work is characterized by its depth in exploring the inner lives of her characters, focusing on the psychological rather than external events. Born Adeline Virginia Stephen in London to a literary family, she began writing professionally in the early 20th century. Woolf's novels, such as 'Mrs. Dalloway' (1925), 'To the Lighthouse' (1927), and 'Orlando' (1928), have left an indelible mark on literary modernism. Her extended essay 'A Room of One's Own' (1929) remains a powerful feminist text, arguing for both literal and figurative space for women writers within a literary tradition dominated by men. 'The Common Reader - Second Series' (1935), a collection of essays, showcases Woolf's talents as a critic and highlights her interest in the lives and works of writers and the art of reading. Despite facing mental health challenges throughout her life, Woolf's contribution to literature and her explorations of class, sex, and empire in the context of her post-Victorian society have immortalized her as a key figure in the study of the modern novel.
