Major Works
Her first work ‘The Voyage Out’ was published on 26 March 1915 by her half-brother Duckworth’s company. It was written when she was psychologically vulnerable, and suffering from depression. In 1981, an alternate version of ‘The Voyage Out,’ under its original title ‘Melymbrosia,’ was published by an American writer, editor, and Professor Louise DeSalvo. DeSalvo claimed that the release of the alternate version was an attempt to restore the novel as Woolf had originally conceived it. The work included subjects like homosexuality, women’s issues, and colonialism. Since Woolf had been warned by her colleagues that publishing such an outspoken work would affect her career, the original version had been heavily edited. ‘To the Lighthouse’ was one of her important works. It was published in 1927 by ‘Hogarth Press’—which she had co-founded with her husband. What’s unique about this novel is that it contains little dialogue, and almost no action, as most of it was written as thoughts and observations. Childhood emotions were recalled and adult relationships were highlighted. She had begun writing this book as a way of understanding as well as dealing with unresolved issues concerning her parents. Hence, similarities with her life can be seen in the book. ‘The Waves’ was published in 1931. It was one of her most experimental novels. It consists of six characters, through which Virginia Woolf explores concepts of individuality, self, and community. It is difficult to assign a genre to this novel, because of its complexity. In fact, the book cannot even be categorized as a novel because of its complexity. As described in Woolf’s biography, it is less of a novel and more of a ‘playpoem.’ The book was translated by Marguerite Yourcenar in 1937. 'Flush: A Biography’ was published in 1933 by ‘Hogarth Press.’ The book, which views city life through the eyes of a dog, is a harsh criticism of the unnatural ways adopted by the people living in the city. Woolf’s emotional and philosophical views are verbalized in this book. Download 119 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
