Item description from seller

Paperback. This study takes up Woolfs challenge to probe the relationship between education and work, specifically her education and her work as an essayist. It expands her education beyond her fathers library to include not only a broader examination of her homeschooling but also her teaching at Morley College and her early book reviewing. It places Virginia Stephens learning in the historical and cultural contexts of education for women, the working classes and writers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Weaving together Virginia Stephens homeschooling, her teaching and her writing for the newspapers, Beth Rigel Daugherty demonstrates how these three strands shape Virginia Woolfs essay persona, her essays and her relationship with her readers. She also shows why Virginia Stephens apprenticeship compels Virginia Woolf to become a pedagogical essayist. The volume publishes two holograph draft lectures by Virginia Stephen for the first time and mines rarely used archival materials. It also includes five appendices, one detailing Virginia Stephens library and another her apprenticeship essays.This is the first in a two-volume study of Virginia Woolfs essays that analyses Virginia Stephens development and Virginia Woolfs achievements as an essay writer. Provides the most comprehensive portrayal of Virginia Woolfs education to date. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
