This collection of essays and other writings does justice to Virginia Woolf's reputation as a major essayist and critic, offering appraisals of Aphra Behn, Mary Wollestonecraft, the Duchess of Newcastle, Dorothy Richardson, Charlotte Bronte and Katherine Mansfield among others. Gathered too are her timeless commentaries on subjects ranging from The Intellectual Status of Women and Professions for Women to Indiscretions. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

My very favourite essay is "Professions for Women" (which is also published in the collection The Death of the Moth). In it, the narrator brilliantly describes how she had to kill the Angel in the House: "I turned upon her and caught her by the throat ..." This is Woolf at her most vigorous, taking agency in her life. I also really enjoyed her essays on Jane Austen and the Brontes, and also one titled "Royalty." Great stuff!
Recommended for: This is a must-read for fans of A Room of One's Own and anyone interested in the issues that women novelists face, and also anyone interested in women writers in general.
Rating: 4/5 stars. I would have given this a full 5 stars, but there were several essays that I didn't care for, mostly because I had no knowledge of the authors Woolf discussed. That doesn't take away from how fabulous some of the other essays were, however. ( )
