Virginia Woolf, Literary Materiality, and Feminist Aesthetics : From Pen to Print

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book interrogates therelationship between the material conditions of Woolf's writing practices and her work as a printer and publisher at the Hogarth Press. In bringing to light her embodied literary processes, from drafting and composition to hand-printing and binding, this study foregrounds the interactions between Woolf's modernist experimentation and the visual and material aspects of her printed works. By drawing on the field of print culture, as well as the materialist turn in Woolf scholarship, it explores how her experience in print,book-design and publishing underlines her experimental writing, and how her literarytexts are conditioned by the context of their production. This book, therefore, provides new ways of reading Woolf's modernism in the context of twentieth-century print, material, and visual cultures. By suggesting that Woolf's work at the Hogarth Press sensitized her to the significant role the visual aspects of a text play in its system ofrepresentation, it also considers the extent to which materiality informs both her work, as well as herengagement with Bloomsbury formalist aesthetics, which often exaggerate the distinctionbetween visual and verbal modes of expression.
