It considers each of Woolf\u2019s novels in context, traces the contentious course of her \u2018afterlife\u2019, and shows why, seventy years after her death, Virginia Woolf continues to haunt and inspire us.<\/p>\n<p>Alexandra Harris uses vivid flashes of detail to evoke Woolf\u2019s changing backgrounds and preoccupations. We move from the close-packed rhythms of a Victorian childhood to the experiments of \u2018Bloomsbury\u2019. We see her \u2018drawn on and on\u2019 to tackle ever more challenging forms of writing.<\/p>\n<p>Cultural historian and writer Alexandra Harris is a brilliant, original and wonderfully engaging new voice whose first book, <em>Romantic Moderns, <\/em>was published to huge acclaim.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information <a href=\"https:\/\/href.li\/?https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com\/catalog\/product\/view\/id\/2680\/s\/woolf-9780500515921\/category\/2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><u>here<\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This new account considers each of Woolf\u2019s novels in context, traces the contentious course of her \u2018afterlife\u2019, and shows why, seventy years after her death, Virginia Woolf continues to haunt and inspire us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-publications"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/etudes-woolfiennes.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/etudes-woolfiennes.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/etudes-woolfiennes.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etudes-woolfiennes.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etudes-woolfiennes.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1476"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/etudes-woolfiennes.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1476\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2389,"href":"https:\/\/etudes-woolfiennes.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1476\/revisions\/2389"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/etudes-woolfiennes.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etudes-woolfiennes.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etudes-woolfiennes.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
