Lounsberry shows how Woolf\u2019s writing at this time was influenced by other<br \/>\ndiarists\u2013Anton Chekhov, Katherine Mansfield, Jonathan Swift, and Stendhal among them\u2014and how she continued to use her diaries as a way to experiment with form and as a practice ground for her evolving modernist style.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Through close readings of Woolf \u2018s journaling style and an examination of the diaries she<br \/>\nread, Lounsberry tracks Woolf \u2018s development as a writer and unearths new connections between her professional writing, personal writing, and the diaries she was reading at the time. Virginia Woolf\u2019s Modernist Path offers a new approach to Woolf \u2018s biography: her life as she marked it in her diary from ages 36 to 46.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Barbara LOUNSBERRY, <em>Virginia Woolf\u2019s Modernist Path<\/em><em>: Her Middle Diaries and the Diaries She Read<\/em><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/href.li\/?http:\/\/upf.com\/book.asp?id=LOUNS002\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><u>http:\/\/upf.com\/book.asp?id=LOUNS002<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The first volume of Lounsberry\u2019s study (<em>Becoming Virginia Woolf.
