Woolf's responses to her literary predecessors provide new insights into her self-positioning within the literary canon and the interplay of biographical innovation and Victorian legacies in her non-fiction. This study demonstrates that Victorian narratives and tropes of female professionalism continue to shape Woolf's representations of nineteenth-century women writers even at the heyday of her Modernist fame. It contextualizes the overt feminism of A Room of One's Own within Woolf's more ambiguous literary biography to argue for its status as a transitional, post-Victorian body of work" -- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 199-210) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: Rainbow and granite, women and biography -- 'Vain are these speculations': Jane Austen and female perfection -- 'Even a lady sometimes raises her voice': Mary Russell Mitford and Elizabeth Barrett Browning -- 'That indefinable something': Charlotte BronteÌ and protest -- 'A gap in your library, Madam': the lives of professional women -- Writing Virginia Woolf: autobiographical fragments. 600 10 $a Woolf, Virginia, $d 1882-1941 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Woolf, Virginia, $d 1882-1941 $x Influence. 600 17 $a Woolf, Virginia, $d 1882-1941. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00033879 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 650 0 $a Literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Literature, Modern $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Criticism. 650 7 $a Literature, Modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000172 650 7 $a Literature $x Women authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000068 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781474485654 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117022035.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=42D99FAA0CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
