Jag är anglofil och biblioman, har överdrivet intresse för att samla och äga böcker, läser, fotograferar, periodvis läsare; läser olika mycket olika böcker. Min barndomsdröm om ett eget bibliotek är uppfylld, är gift med en bokläsare som älskar Fantomen. Som mormor och farmor läser jag även barnböcker. Jag mår bra av att omges av böcker, att vara beroende av böcker måste vara det nyttigaste beroendet. Litteraturbanken. My own photos.

Oxford Handbook of Virginia Woolf, sommarprojekt?

Oxford Handbook of Virginia Woolf (2021) av Anne E Fernald 1,3 kg och 672 sidor.
With thirty-nine original chapters from internationally prominent scholars, The Oxford Handbook of Virginia Woolf is designed for scholars and graduate students. Feminist to the core, each chapter examines an aspect of Woolf's achievement and legacy. Each contribution offers an overview that is at once fresh and thoroughly grounded in prior scholarship. Six sections focus on Woolf's life, her texts, her experiments, her life as a professional, her contexts,and her afterlife. Opening chapters on Woolf's life address the powerful influences of family, friends, and home. The section on her works moves chronologically, emphasizing Woolf's practice of writing essays and reviews alongside her fiction.

Chapters on Woolf's experimentalism pay special attention to theliterariness of Woolf's writing, with opportunity to trace its distinctive watermark while 'Professions of Writing', invites readers to consider how Woolf worked in cultural fields including and extending beyond the Hogarth Press and the TLS. The 'Contexts' section moves beyond writing to depict her engagement with the natural world as well as the political, artistic, and popular culture of her time. The final section on afterlives demonstrates the many ways Woolf's reputationcontinues to grow, across the globe, and across media, in ideas and in artistic expression. Of particular note, chapters explore three distinct Woolfian traditions in fiction: the novel of manners, magical realism, and the feminist novel.

En tung bok på flera sätt. Blir det ditt sommarprojekt? Har du köpt den?

Mösstanten, jo, jag köpte boken efter viss tveksamhet, men den innehåller så mycket intressant som kommer att fylla många Woolf-luckor.
