Item description from seller

Paperback. This study is a groundbreaking investigation into the formative influence of music on Virginia Woolfs writingIn this unique study Emma Sutton discusses all of Woolfs novels as well as selected essays and short fiction, offering detailed commentaries on Woolfs numerous allusions to classical repertoire and to composers including Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Wagner. Sutton explores Woolfs interest in the contested relationship between politics and music, placing her work in a matrix of ideas about music and national identity, class, anti-Semitism, pacifism, sexuality and gender. The study also considers the formal influence of music from fugue to Romantic opera on Woolfs prose and narrative techniques. The analysis of musics role in Woolfs aesthetics and fiction is contextualized in accounts of her musical education, activities as a listener, and friendships with musicians; and the study outlines the relationship between her musicalized work and that of contemporaries including Joyce, Lawrence, Forster, Mansfield and Eliot.Key Features:Analysis of music, national identity and war in The Voyage Out,Jacobs Room and Mrs DallowayClose reading of Wagners influence on the plot and narrative techniques of The Voyage OutAnalysis of music and philo- and anti-Semitism in The YearsInnovative reading of the fugal structure of Mrs Dalloway This groundbreaking study explores the formative influence of classical music on Woolf's writing, illustrating the importance of music to Woolf's domestic, social and creative lives.
