    "The story of "Shakespeare's sister" that Virginia Woolf tells in A Room of One's Own has sparked interest in the question of the place of the woman writer in the Renaissance. By now, the process of recovering lost voices of early modern women is well under way. But Woolf's engagement with the Renaissance went deeper than the question indicates, as important as it was. Her writing reveals a lifelong conversation with the literature of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, from the travel narratives of Hakluyt to the works of Donne, Milton, Montaigne, and of course Shakespeare." "The first collection of essays to explore Woolf's Renaissance, Virginia Woolf: Reading the Renaissance reflects an important interdisciplinary development: contributors include Renaissance as well as twentieth-century specialists."--BOOK JACKET.

    Virginia Woolf and Samuel Johnson: Common Readers argues for an intertextual reading of Woolf's criticism by placing it within the larger network of literary history. Woolf's critical assumptions can be viewed as a product of her reading of the eighteenth century, specifically the critical values articulated by Samuel Johnson and mediated by Leslie Stephen. Through an analysis of Woolf's essays, Rosenberg illustrates that Woolf is directly influenced by Johnson's theories of writing and speech; that these theories are most explicitly stated in her early critical work; and that Woolf's early essays are essential to the development of the dialogical style of her most masterful novels.

    "Unbeknown to many, Virginia Woolf spent the first twenty years of her career writing essays and book reviews. So well-known is Woolf for her fiction that her readers may easily overlook the fact that she is the author of over five hundred works of nonfiction, and that for nearly half of her writing career Woolf was primarily a book reviewer and essayist. Virginia Woolf and the Essay is one of the first critical studies of these essays and reviews. The collection begins with an introduction that surveys the historical reception of Woolf's essays, and then sketches out a methodological study of these essays by placing them within historical, literary historical, reader-oriented, generic, and feminist contexts."--BOOK JACKET.

    "In Virgina Woolf and the Visible World, Emily Dalgarno argues that Woolf's subject emerges from a conflict in codes of the visible. She examines how Woolf's writing engages with visible and non-visible realms of experience, and draws on ideas from the diverse fields of psychoanalytic theory, classical Greek tragedy, astronomy, photography and photojournalism. Dalgarno offers analyses of Woolf's individual works, including To the Lighthouse, The Waves and Three Guineas, arguing for the importance of her ongoing interest in translation from the Greek and exploring the theory of the subject that is apparent in her autobiography."--BOOK JACKET.
