Encompassing a vast tract of her career as an essayist and especially lesser-known essays, this collection highlights Woolf’s unique capacity to blur the limits of fiction and essay-writing, and to transform the art of reading into a utopian practice. Writing in the present, she knew she was also accountable to the common reader to come and to the very genius of literature.

Taking up Virginia Woolf’s fascination with Greek literature and culture, this book explores her engagement with the nineteenth-century phenomenon of British Hellenism and her transformation of that multifaceted socio-cultural and political reality into a particular textual aesthetic, which Theodore Koulouris defines as ‘Greekness.’

Regard sur la richesse des échanges artistiques entre le monde méditerranéen et le monde anglo-américain, du XIXe siècle à nos jours.

"Anne‑Marie Smith signe avec 'Virginia Woolf, la hantise de l’écriture' un essai singulier, habité par l’esprit de l’œuvre, jamais extérieur à elle. Ici lire, traduire se confondent en une même « activité d’écoute », en « une activité fantasmatique de reconstruction » (p. 23). Aussi cet essai porte-t-il d’abord la trace d’une expérience existentielle, qui exige de son lecteur la même intensité de présence." (Anne-Laure Rigeade)

An expert on Woolf’s life and work, Susan Sellers is inspired by Woolf’s own brilliant narrative technique – a sensuous, impressionistic, interior voice – to inhabit the mind of an artist at work, and recreate the tale of two sisters as Vanessa might have told it.
