Women's Representation in Virginia Woolf's Works: A dialogue between her political and aesthetic project

The approach here is to focus upon Woolf’s fusions of politics and aesthetics in a complex interweaving of questions regarding the aestheticization of the political (through studies of A Room of One’s Own and Three Guineas) and the politicization of the aesthetics (in To The Lighthouse and Mrs Dalloway). This is a sophisticated argument about unities in Virginia Woolf’s diverse work genres her political essays and novels asking what links them? In reconsidering the essays in a new way Maria focuses on Woolf’s “writing strategies” her “thinking process” a network of connections “to show how her political project is intrinsically linked to her aesthetic project and her “vision of feminism.” Suzanne Bellamy
