Virginia Woolfs endagsroman Mrs Dalloway är en verklig klassiker. Men vad är det som gör den så bra? Karin Nykvist funderar över sin favorit. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Vad är det med Mrs Dalloway? Hur kommer det sig att jag bara måste återvända till henne gång på gång, år efter år, att jag tvingar alla mina studenter att läsa om henne och aldrig kan hålla litteraturvetarens förväntade distans utan bara måste förklara för alla som vill eller inte kan undgå att lyssna att hon finns i min absoluta favoritroman?Boken om henne handlar ju inte alls om något häpnadsväckande: en dam promenerar runt i London och ordnar en fest, samtidigt som en krigsveteran, skadad av första världskrigets skyttegravshelvete långsamt rör sig mot sitt självmord i samma stad. Och Mrs Dalloway är inte alls som jag – hoppas jag! Hon är snobbig, konservativ, dömande, arrogant – och inte helt lätt att tycka om. Trots att andra möjligheter fanns har hon valt det säkra livet och gift sig med en lagom ointressant man som gett henne en trygg position i samhällets societet. Själv broderar hon, handlar blommor, arrangerar fester och är – som hennes gamla kärlek Peter syrligt säger – en perfekt värdinna. Ytlig och lätt att glömma, med andra ord.Så varför gör jag inte det?Ja, grejen med Clarissa Dalloway är väl just att hon påminner mig om att den sorts människor som jag just beskrev faktiskt inte existerar: de ytliga, ointressanta, de som inte lämnar några spår. Vi bara tror att de finns. Virginia Woolfs mästerskap ligger i hur hon skriver fram den mänskliga erfarenheten, i all dess komplexitet. I Clarissa Dalloway får jag tillgång till en hel människa – på ett sätt som jag faktiskt inte kan få i verkliga livet. För porträttet av Clarissa tecknas inte bara genom hennes eget medvetande utan genom alla dem hon möter, de som känner henne väl och ser henne genom alla hennes tidigare, yngre versioner, och de som flyktigt korsar hennes väg på gatan.Virginia Woolf struntade blankt i sin samtids förväntningar på hur en roman skulle skrivas. I stället gjorde hon som Clarissa själv: kastade sig ut i den vackra Londonmorgonen och lät läsaren följa med i livet som ständigt pågår – överallt. Så byter romanen perspektiv utan förvarningar, från den promenerande Mrs Dalloway till hennes gamla pojkvän Peter Walsh – som just kommit tillbaka till London från att ganska mediokert ha tjänat det brittiska imperiet i Indien – till ungdomskärleken Sally Seton som blivit Lady och fembarnsmor, till butiksinnehavare, gatuförsäljare och nyfikna flanörer. Och så ger den perspektivet till den svårt sjuke Septimus Smith och hans förtvivlade fru Lucrezia, för att låta det gå tillbaka till Clarissa – och vidare igen. Hon tänker på dem alla och på sig själv – medan de i sin tur betraktar henne – och tänker på sig själva.Allt är relativt: tid, plats, minne, identitet – och människans sinnen och psykologi gör en objektiv upplevelse av världen omöjlig. ”Hon ville inte längre säga om någon människa i världen att hon eller han var det eller det [.…] ville inte säga om sig själv: jagär det eller det” tänker Clarissa. För dum är hon inte, hon vet: allt är i flux. Det enda vi verkligen har är ögonblicket, vårt här och nu. Berättelserna, före och efter-tankarna, den skenbara logiken skapar vi själva. Men det är ögonblicken vi minns, synintrycken, dofterna, ljuden, mötet med den andre.Ögonblick. Ordet återkommer genom romanen – i Eva Åsefeldts översättning hela femtiofyra gånger. För Woolf är det nämligen inte ett ord bland andra, inte en neutral beskrivning av en flyktig stund, utan centralt för hela hennes förståelse av livet. Hon kallar dem ”moments of being” – de ögonblick när livet plötsligt fylls av akut härvaro. De kommer sällan och oväntat. För Clarissa sker det till exempel när hon mitt på förmiddagen lägger av sig sin brosch i sitt sovrum. Woolf skriver att Clarissa: ”kastade sig […] ut i ögonblickets själva kärna, naglade fast det, där – ögonblicket denna förmiddag i juni som vilade under trycket av alla de andra förmiddagarna. Hon såg spegeln, toalettbordet och flaskorna som för första gången, samlade hela sitt jag till en enda punkt (med blicken mot spegeln), såg det späda rosa ansiktet hos den kvinna som samma kväll skulle hålla sin fest; Clarissa Dalloway, hon själv.”Ögonblick som dessa kan, som Runeberg skrev, ”bli hos oss evigt”. Som en annan morgon, mer än trettio år tidigare, när Sally plötsligt kysste henne på en terrass: ”det mest fulländade ögonblicket i hennes liv”.Clarissa återkommer ständigt till denna stund och till den hon var då. Då när alla dörrar till livet fortfarande stod öppna. Då, när hon gjorde slut med Peter Walsh – och kysste Sally. Sedan dess har livets dörrar stängts, en efter en. Har hon valt rätt? Var det rätt att tacka nej till allt det osäkra och otippade - och i stället bli fru Dalloway?Virginia Woolf hade hunnit bli fyrtio när hon skapade sin Clarissa. Hon bodde då tillfälligt i Richmond, där hon och hennes man Leonard hade startat Hogarth Press, mycket för att Virginia skulle ha något att göra – hon led sedan barndomen av bräcklig mental hälsa.Många läsare har funderat på hur mycket av författaren som finns i Mrs Dalloway. Det är lite roligt, för Woolf var knappast någon borgerlig societetsdam som gav fester för konservativa premiärministrar och andra noggrant utvalda medlemmar av societeten. Hon var ju bohem, ganska så fattig, gift med en socialist och uppslukad av konst och litteratur. Mrs Dalloway broderar – Virginia Woolf läste James Joyce. Mrs Dalloway planerar menyer – Virginia Woolf satte texten till T.S. Eliots ”Det öde landet” – som gavs ut som bok på paret Woolfs lilla förlag 1923, samtidigt som Virginia skrev på sin roman.Men jag förstår tanken - för visst finns likheterna där. Clarissa ser och noterar det mesta som har med samtidens sociala spel att göra. Men till skillnad från sin skapare Virginia väljer hon bara att spela med. Kanske är Clarissa Dalloway allt det som Woolf själv hade kunnat bli, om hon inte gjort uppror mot det viktorianska samhälle hennes samtid och stränga far uppfostrade henne till.Och det är väl just i det att vara människa i världen, bland andra människor, som jag och Clarissa – och för den delen Virginia Woolf – möts och är lika varandra. Upptagna med vardagens små planer, fasta i oss själva och våra sinnens och tankars begränsningar medan livet pågår och pågår – och plötsligt slår oss med sin storslagenhet, skönhet och korthet – i varats utsträckta ögonblick.Och alla har vi väl våra egna varianter av Sally Seton-kyssar där någonstans längst inne: minnen som vi vårdar och som kommer att försvinna med oss.En av litteraturens främsta egenskaper är att den får oss att känna igen människor vi aldrig mött. Jag känner igen Clarissa Dalloway – trots att hon är hundra år äldre än jag och bara ett stycke text, en uppfinning. För någonstans är det ju ändå så, att Clarissa Dalloway, ja, det är ju jag.Och du.Karin Nykvistlitteraturvetare och kritikerLitteraturVirginia Woolf: Mrs Dalloway. Översättning: Eva Åsefeldt.

“I belong to the race that in the Middle Ages was blamed for all the plagues and such experiences have a sobering effect, and they do not arouse the tendency to believe in illusions. Much of my life has been devoted to trying to shed illusions. But if there is an illusion worth believing in, at least partially, this is the illusion: that we learn how to divert the impulse of destruction from our own kind, how to stop hating each other because of trivial differences, and stop killing each other for profits. That we stop taking advantage of the achievements of progress to control the forces of nature in a way that will lead to our destruction. Without this illusion, what future awaits us?”  Sigmund Freud, Letter to Romain Rolland, 1923 “I found [this letter] in the collection that Eran Rolnik translated into Hebrew. I met it in the Hebrew version, and when I got back to the German, something else happened. In the Hebrew translation it was talking about the ‘hope'. But then the people in Vienna told me in German this is not ‘hope', this is ‘illusion'. I thought it is even more powerful that he speaks about the power of illusion, the needed illusion. It also brought me back to the beginning of my journey when a friend said the main purpose of the film is to have Freud telling us something like the ‘big father', how should we live today? A tip and insight from Freud. So this is an insight from Freud, a message from Freud over time to us now. I'm not sure it's prophetic. I think there's no prophecies, but it speaks to us now. It speaks to us now.”  Episode Description: We begin with an opening quote from Freud that characterized his sense of being an 'outsider'. Yair then shares with us his own personal journey of discovering Freud as distinct from his father. Having some analytic exposure awakened in him the capacity to, like Freud, ignite his creativity and discover Freud anew. Unique among the many Freud documentaries, Yair utilizes 3D animation techniques as well as dreamlike imagery, newly uncovered archival film and evocative music to invite the viewer to regressively experience the possibilities of the unconscious. We go through four periods of Freud's life which include his struggles with Viennese antisemitism, his discovery of the role of childhood sexuality, his illness and the deaths of his father, daughter, granddaughter and mother and his exile to London. We conclude with his 1923 letter to Romain Rolland where he pleads "that we stop taking advantage of the achievements of progress to control the forces of nature in a way that will lead to our destruction.”    Our Guest: Yair Qedar is an Israeli documentary filmmaker, social activist and former journalist. In his project "the Hebrews", he had been chronicling the lives of Jewish and Israeli figures of the modern Hebrew literary canon. Qedar's 19 feature length documentaries have all premiered at film festivals and have won the director over 30 prizes. Also, Qedar is a leading LGBTQ activist and created the first Israeli LGBTQ newspaper.   To View the Film: This documentary was first shown at the Sigmund Freud Museum in Vienna on January 9th, 2025.

“A paixão da leitura” é um ensaio filosófico e bastante didático de Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) sobre a nossa relação com os livros. Logo ao princípio, ela infere o surgimento das bibliotecas e afirma que ler é uma arte muito complexa. Nossa obrigação como leitores são muitas e variadas. Por um lado, devemos nos colocar no banco dos réus e ler sem julgar quem escreveu ou o escrito, mas sim, ler como se estivéssemos escrevendo. Num segundo momento, devemos saber criticar como um juiz, e julgar não apenas os clássicos, mas também os escritores vivos, pois só assim estaremos ajudando a trazer livros bons para o mundo. O ensaio está no livro O Sol e o Peixe, encerrando o capítulo I.A vida e a arte. A relação de Virginia com os livros tem imensas dimensões. Ela escrevia, editava livros à mão, traduzia, debatia e, acima de tudo, ensaiava "Como se deve ler um livro?", em O valor do riso e outros ensaios. Na vertente produção de livros, durante o período entreguerras (1918-1939), o casal Virginia e Leonard Woolf passava o tempo realizando impressão de livros à mão para, alguns anos depois, fundar sua própria editora, a Hogarth Press, que funcionava na sala de estar de casa. Dá para ter uma noção do clima literário a que estavam envolvidos. Boa leitura!

Send us a Text Message.Have you ever wished you could put your walls down completely and love wholeheartedly, but feared you'd get your heart broken? Maybe going slowly and cautiously into a relationship, like Gabby & Ciara in Summer House? Have you ever felt like you were better off single, because you've been burned one too many times? Or maybe you wonder if you've stayed in a loveless relationship because you don't want to open yourself back up to heartbreak or loneliness, were you to reenter the dating pool? In this episode, the 7th in our Mental Health Check-Up (MHCU) series, Dr. Kay discusses the Central Relational Paradox, a conflict we all experience between our desires to love and our fears of being vulnerable. Dr. Kay explores the psychotherapy model that this concept comes from, Relational Cultural Therapy, providing definitions, examples, and recommendations. The examples are all from Summer House, as it wraps up its latest season. In honor of Ariana hosting the new US Love Island season as it starts back up, Dr. Kay explores avenues for navigating love in today's cultural atmosphere, one marked by cynicism. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Central Relational Paradox References:Eisenberger, N., Lieberman, M., & Williams, K.

"We didn't call the police right away." Those are the electric first words of this extraordinary novel about a biracial Korean American family in Virginia whose lives are upended when their beloved father and husband goes missing. Mia, the irreverent, hyperanalytical twenty-year-old daughter, has an explanation for everything--which is why she isn't initially concerned when her father and younger brother Eugene don't return from a walk in a nearby park. They must have lost their phone. Or stopped for an errand somewhere. But by the time Mia's brother runs through the front door bloody and alone, it becomes clear that the father in this tight-knit family is missing and the only witness is Eugene, who has the rare genetic condition Angelman syndrome and cannot speak. What follows is both a ticking-clock investigation into the whereabouts of a father and an emotionally rich portrait of a family whose most personal secrets just may be at the heart of his disappearance. Full of shocking twists and fascinating questions of love, language, and human connection, Happiness Falls (Hogarth Press, 2023) is a mystery, a family drama, and a novel of profound philosophical inquiry.  Happiness Falls was an instant New York Times bestseller. Angie's debut novel, Miracle Creek, won the Edgar Award, the ITW Thriller Award, the Strand Critics' Award, and the Pinckley Prize and was named one of the hundred best mysteries and thrillers of all time by Time, The Washington Post, Kirkus, and the Today show. One of Variety Magazine's inaugural “10 Storytellers to Watch,” Angie has written for The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, Vogue, Glamour, and numerous literary journals. She lives in northern Virginia with her family. Recommended Books: Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go Naoki Higashida, The Reason I Jump Daniel Mason, North Woods Hang Kan, Greek Lessons  Chris Holmes is Chair of Literatures in English and Associate Professor at Ithaca College. He writes criticism on contemporary global literatures. His book, Kazuo Ishiguro as World Literature, is under contract with Bloomsbury Publishing.

Andrew Nash is Reader in Book History at the Institute of English Studies, University of London (a leading book history scholar in other words) and Director of the London Rare Books School. We sat down in the stacks at the Mark Longman "Books about Books" Library at the University of Reading (well, actually the Museum of English Rural Life in Reading which is somehow connected to the University and its publishers' archives collections) to talk about a course Andrew teaches ​at the London Rare Book School on how to use/work with publishers' archives. Th​ough this topic may sound a ​tad niche, even for this podcast, it's not. Andrew makes the convincing ​c​ase that publishers' archives are in fact ​of interest to many scholars, and have valu​e precisely because they can be studied from many​ different economic, social, ​and cultural​ perspectives. Publishers' archives​ yield, among other things, fascinating, detailed information about how knowledge and "culture" is “made public” in society. They're not just about author-publisher correspondence​s, though these in themselves are justly recognized and valued as essential documents of cultural heritage, no, they're about providing scholars, and the world at large, with rich source documentation, from which all of us can better understand...yes, everything! Archives referenced during our conversation include those of Allen & Unwin, Chatto and Windus, Longmans, John Murray, George Routledge, and The Hogarth Press.

"We know as analysts there's a long literature on mourning and its connection to creativity from the time of Freud's work to George Pollock's work and others - but that's too intellectual; let me make it more personal, and then I'll talk about Freud and Maimonides. My father and my mother lost a combination of 10 siblings and a granddaughter murdered by the Nazis, plus their parents and aunts and uncles. I've heard stories about their siblings and I think: ‘Look what they would have done, what they would have created not just families but ideas', and I realized in my analysis that for years I have been trying to make up, by writing books, what would have been done by the aunts, uncles, and cousins that I never knew because they were murdered. So creativity can have a reparative, never enough perhaps, but a reparative quality.” Episode Description: I introduce the topic of the not fully acknowledged role of religion in the lives of analysts and analysands, which will be explored in future conversations. Nathan begins by sharing his personal connection with his religion, which he feels does not involve a belief in a God. He describes how his relation to his Judaism, like his essence as an analyst, entails an attunement to an inner life, a commitment to proper behavior, and a search for hidden meanings. He describes his family of origin and their almost complete annihilation in the Holocaust. We discuss the similarities he feels exists between Maimonides and Freud, the importance of mourning in their creative processes, and the great attention to 'the word' that both worldviews exhibit. We also take up whether 'belief' is an appropriate term to characterize one's psychoanalytic clinical work. We close with his sharing clinical examples where religion played an important role in the treatment.   Linked Episode: https://harveyschwartzmd.com/2021/04/23/ep-6-how-to-raise-loving-and-creative-30-year-old/   Our Guest: Nathan Szajnberg, MD, is Retired Freud Professor, the Hebrew University and former Wallerstein Research Fellow in Psychoanalysis.

Virginia Woolf, una de las grandes revolucionarias de la literatura del siglo XX, es la autora elegida para cerrar la tercera temporada de GRANDES INFELICES, un podcast de Blackie Books, presentado y dirigido por el escritor Javier Peña (autor de “Agnes” e “Infelices”). Darse un paseo por la vida de Woolf es hacerlo por buena parte de la cultura del siglo XX. Desde el grupo de Bloomsbury, que nació alrededor de sus hermanos y en el que estaban, entre otros, E.M. Forster o el economista John Maynard Keynes, hasta su papel de editora en Hogarth Press, donde publicó a T.S. Eliot, a Auden o a Katherine Mansfield: la de Woolf fue una vida que aunó, como pocas, genialidad, éxito e infelicidad.

The star of On Java Road (Hogarth: 2022), the latest novel from Lawrence Osborne, is Adrian Gyle, a down-on-his-luck correspondent in Hong Kong, in the midst of its 2019 protests. Adrian spends his time drinking with Jimmy Tang, a royal screw-up from one of Hong Kong's tycoon families. But a new character–and an unexpected death–threatens to drive a wedge in their relationship, as Hong Kong is mired in an uncertain future. Lawrence Osborne is the author of The Glass Kingdom, The Forgiven, The Ballad of a Small Player, Hunters in the Dark, and six books of nonfiction. His short story “Volcano” was selected for the Best American Short Stories 2012, and he has written for the New York Times magazine, The New Yorker, New York Times Book Review, Forbes, Harper's, and several other publications. Today, Lawrence and I talk about the choice of Hong Kong as a setting, his use of real-world places, and the decision to use a still-fresh event as the backdrop for his latest novel.

Sara De Simone"Nessuna come lei"Katherine Mansfield e Virginia WoolfStoria di un'amiciziaNeri Pozza Editorehttps://neripozza.itRegina del racconto breve, Katherine Mansfield a 100 anni dalla nascita è una grande voce ancora da esplorare.Morta di tubercolosi a Fontainebleau, vicino a Parigi, il 9 gennaio 1923, a soli 34 anni, ha avuto un'infanzia felice che è diventata fonte di ispirazione delle sue storie ma una vita segnata dall'esilio, il dolore e la battaglia contro la tisi.Nel luglio del 1916, Garsington, la villa di campagna della patrona delle arti Ottoline Morrell, non è solo un rifugio per obiettori di coscienza in piena Prima guerra mondiale, ma un vero e proprio teatro dove, settimana dopo settimana, approda «una compagnia di giro», pronta a esibirsi senza pudore. C'è chi legge Keats ad alta voce, chi dipinge nudi en plein air, chi alleva maiali, chi scrive opuscoli contro la leva obbligatoria. E poi c'è lei, Katherine Mansfield, detta anche Lili Heron, Elizabeth Stanley, Julian Mark, Boris Petrovsky, Matilda Berry: tutti nomi con cui è solita firmare i suoi racconti e poesie. Lytton Strachey, l'eccentrico scrittore del circolo di Bloomsbury, la trova «decisamente interessante», Bertrand Russell la definisce «una mente brillante», per Leonard Woolf è «straordinariamente divertente». L'unica che sembra non subire il suo fascino è proprio Virginia Woolf. «Mi tampina da tre anni» dice con aria snob, a proposito di quella «straniera» che arriva dalle colonie, indossa gonne corte e intona black spirituals accompagnandosi con la chitarra. Ma è questione di pochi mesi: nonostante le iniziali resistenze, qualcosa di misterioso e intenso scatta fra le due scrittrici, qualcosa che le uní a tal punto da fare di Katherine Mansfield una delle prime autrici pubblicate dalla Hogarth Press, la casa editrice dei coniugi Woolf. Qualcosa che Virginia stessa avrebbe definito come una «stranissima sensazione di eco». Questo libro, arricchito di numerosi materiali inediti in Italia, è la storia di quel nucleo misterioso e intenso al cuore della loro amicizia.«Entrambe mettevano la letteratura al primo posto. E questa non era un'affinità come un'altra: era tutto. Era come essere partecipi di un rito segreto, come camminare sulle stesse zolle di terra incandescente, dove nessun altro osava avventurarsi».«Mio Dio, Virginia, adoro pensare a te come un'amica». Katherine Mansfield"Sara De Simone ha conseguito un dottorato in Letterature comparate alla Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa. Ha tradotto con Nadia Fusini il carteggio tra Virginia Woolf e Vita Sackville-West (Scrivi sempre a mezzanotte, Donzelli 2019). Si occupa di critica letteraria sulle pagine culturali de il manifesto e Il Tascabile.

Sean Illing talks with Jonathan Lear, a psychoanalyst and philosopher, about his new book Imagining the End: Mourning and Ethical Life. How can we continue to live a good life in a world beset by catastrophe, crisis, and chaos? Sean and Jonathan discuss the role of imagination and culture in the ways we make meaning in the world, the idea of mourning as a confrontation with our uniquely human ability to love, and how to turn away from the path of despair, towards hope — and to what Lear calls "committed living towards the future."

Virginia Woolfs "Jacob's Room" betraktas ofta som en förstudie till hennes verkliga storverk. Det är dags att ändra på den uppfattningen, säger litteraturvetaren Karin Nykvist. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Vem är Jacob? Var är Jacob? Jag läser Virginia Woolfs roman Jacobs Room och frågorna kommer till mig, gång på gång. För jag får liksom inte kläm på honom, han glider hela tiden undan.Jag är inte ensam om att känna så. Redan på romanens första sida frågar sig hans mamma: var är den där besvärlige lille pojken? och skickar iväg hans bror för att leta. Ja-cob! Ja-cob! ropar brodern så som så många fler ska göra innan den korta berättelsen är slut.För inte är det mycket vi reda på om Jacob. Istället får vi veta vad andra tänker:  när de betraktar honom, förälskar sig i honom, skriver brev om honom och skvallrar om honom. Huvudpersonen själv förblir ett slags gäckande frånvaro, även om vi följer tätt i hans spår: från en dag på stranden i den tidiga barndomen, till studierna i Cambridge, till rummet i London, till le grand tour i Italien och Grekland, och sist till det slutgiltiga försvinnandet, i det första världskrigets stora anonyma död.Så blir romanen till ett slag antibiografi: den tecknar fram ett liv som förblir preludier och skisser; den är en bildningsroman som inte går i mål.Och just däri ligger förstås dess storhet. För vad kan vi veta om en annan människa, eller ens om oss själva? Och hur kan vi fånga det där som är människans mest grundläggande begränsning och samtidigt hennes största och enda möjlighet: livet självt?Romanen är Virginia Woolfs tredje. Den kom ut under det år som ofta blir kallat vidunderligt när litteraturhistoria ska skrivas: 1922. Ur ett engelskspråkigt perspektiv är det nästan Året med stort Å. I februari gav James Joyce ut sin tegelsten Ulysses med hjälp av den modiga Sylvia Beach i Paris. I oktober publicerade T.S Eliot The Waste Land i sin egen tidskrift The Criterion. Och senare samma månad lät paret Woolf trycka upp Jacobs Room på det egna förlaget Hogarth Press.Virginia Woolf kallade själv Jacobs Room för ett experiment, och möjligen är det detta uttalande som får författaren Lawrence Norfolk att i förordet till min engelska utgåva utbrista att romanen saknar det självförtroende som kännetecknar Joyces och Eliots böcker. Självklart har han fel. För det första har en roman inga känslor alls. För det andra och så klart är detta viktigare kräver experimentet en stark och trygg självkänsla. Och det verkar inte som om Woolf skulle darrat på pennan någonstans eller på något sätt valt en försiktig väg här. Några år tidigare - 1919 hade hon skrivit så här om litteraturens nya uppgift: Låt oss skriva ner atomerna så som de dyker upp i vårt sinne, i den ordning de kommer, låt oss följa mönstret, hur osammanhängande och motsägelsefullt det än ter sig, som varje syn eller händelse ristar på medvetandet.Om Virginia Woolfs romaner saknade intrig var det för att livet självt saknar det: bättre då att registrera sinnenas intryck, som bildkonstnären.Woolf menade att litteraturen befann sig vid en skiljeväg, då, i början av tjugotalet. Själv stod hon för det nya, det som mer autentiskt och ärligt förmådde gestalta tillvaron. På andra sidan placerade hon författare som John Galsworthy han som skrev Forsytesagan och som snart skulle få Nobelpriset eller den framgångsrika Arnold Bennett, som skrev böcker i en traditionellt realistisk stil med tydliga huvudpersoner och en allvetande berättare och som till skillnad från Woolf sålde i drivor.Bennett var för övrigt en av alla dem som sågade Jacobs Room. Han menade att romanens gestalter omöjligt kunde få liv hos läsaren eftersom författaren, som han syrligt skrev var besatt av originalitet och smarthet.Woolf skulle snart hämnas och formulera sitt förslag på en ny estetik för romanen: i essän Mrs Brown and Mr Bennett från 1923 skriver hon om hur en tänkt kvinna på ett tåg, Mrs Brown, kan skildras litterärt på olika sätt beroende på författarens övertygelser. Woolf låter där  den daterade Mr Bennett och hans gelikar tynga ner den stackars Mrs Brown till oigenkännlighet med en omständlig prosa, trots att hon förtjänar att gestaltas på ett helt annat sätt. Vi måste lära oss att stå ut med det krampaktiga, det obscena, det fragmentariska, misslyckandet, skriver Virginia Woolf. Något annat skulle vara att svika Mrs Brown.Här finns alltså en litteratursyn som bygger på en helt ny människosyn. I Virginia Woolfs värld kan ingen kan längre fångas in, paketeras, eller ges prydlig gestaltning. För att lyckas måste litteraturen misslyckas. Så kan världen skildras sant.Många kritiker har i efterhand betraktat Jacobs room som en förövning till de verkligt stora verken i Woolfs författarskap: hon skulle snart komma att skriva Mrs Dalloway och To the Lighthouse, Mot fyren..Men Jacobs Room är en storartad roman i sin egen rätt Och faktiskt är det den enda av Woolfs romaner som översattes till svenska medan hon själv levde bara en sån sak.Romanens grundtes är att även om vi i sällsynta ögonblick kan uppleva att vi verkligen ser och känner någon så är dessa stunder av absolut närvaro oerhört sällsynta. Istället är det frånvaron som kännetecknar våra liv och våra mänskliga mellanhavanden. Vi skriver, ringer, talar med, till och om varandra, utan att riktigt nå fram. Våra intryck av den rikt myllrande världen är flyktiga och övergående, även om de är fyllda av aldrig så mycket akut skönhet och känsla. Så kan de här stunderna skildras litterärt på samma sätt som impressionisterna tecknade solens förflyttningar över vatten: bara ögonblicket kan fångas, det undflyende.Den som vill filmatisera Jacobs Room borde ha ett lätt jobb: texten består av korta scener som avlöser varandra: vi är på stranden, så - klipp -vid Piccadilly, och klipp - på ett tåg på väg till Cambridge. Och så klipp på Akropolis i Aten.Och överallt alla dessa människor. Inte mindre än 156 namngivna personer befolkar Woolfs roman. Flera av dem får inte ens en halv sida. Alla dessa liv, som vi inte vet någonting om. Och där nånstans, ibland, Jacob, med en bok under armen.1922 var ett storartat litterärt år. Men alla de storverk som skrevs då gick de flesta förbi: både Woolf och Eliot ägnade sig ju åt egenutgivning i små upplagor, och Joyces Ulysses kom ut på ett litet och okänt förlag långt från den engelskspråkiga sfären.  Jag läser vidare om Jacob. Och tänker på dagens litterära utgivning. Vilka böcker kommer att vara framtidens omistliga klassiker vilka författare den framtida historieskrivningens fixstjärnor? Ges de också ut på egna och obskyra förlag?Det enda vi säkert vet är att vi har absolut ingen aning. Men jag är allt lite avundsjuk på dem som i framtiden får läsa årets bästa böcker. Vår tids Jacobs Room.Karin Nykvist, litteraturvetare och kritikerFotnot: Jacob's Room finns översatt till svenska som Jacobs Rum av Siri Thorngren-Olin.

On today's episode of The Literary Life, Mitchell Kaplan is joined by Javier Zamora to discuss his memoir, Solito, out now from Hogarth Press. Javier Zamora was born in El Salvador in 1990. His father fled the country when he was one, and his mother when he was about to turn five. Both parents' migrations were caused by the U.S.-funded Salvadoran Civil War. When he was nine Javier migrated through Guatemala, Mexico, and the Sonoran Desert. His debut poetry collection, Unaccompanied, explores the impact of the war and immigration on his family. Zamora has been a Stegner Fellow at Stanford and a Radcliffe Fellow at Harvard and holds fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation.

In our last episode, we looked at the decision by Virginia Woolf and her husband Leonard to purchase a printing press and run it out of their home. What began as a hobby - a relief from the strains of writing - soon turned into a genuine business, as The Hogarth Press met with success. And when Virginia published one of her most famous stories "Kew Gardens," the dam burst, and the Woolfs and their press had to prepare for a dramatic increase in sales. In this episode, Jacke continues and concludes the story of the Hogarth Press, including a close look at the story that changed the press's fortunes.

Virginia Woolf has long been celebrated as a supremely gifted novelist and essayist. Less well known, but important to understanding her life and contributions to literature, are her efforts as a publisher. In the decades that she and her husband operated the Hogarth Press - starting with a hand-operated printer they ran on their dining room table, cranking out one page at a time - they published some Modernist classics, including works by Virginia and The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot. In this episode, Jacke takes a look at the decision to buy the press, the effect it had on Virginia's life and writing career, and the very first book the Woolfs put out: Two Stories, featuring Leonard's short story "Three Jews" and Virginia's "The Mark on the Wall."

Clarissa had a theory in those days—they had heaps of theories, always theories, as young people have. It was to explain the feeling they had of dissatisfaction; not knowing people; not being known. For how could they know each other? You met every day; then not for six months, or years. It was unsatisfactory, they agreed, how little one knew people. But she said, sitting on the bus going up Shaftesbury Avenue, she felt herself everywhere; not “here, here, here”; and she tapped the back of the seat; but everywhere. She waved her hand, going up Shaftesbury Avenue. She was all that. So that to know her, or any one, one must seek out the people who completed them; even the places.Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway is a novel that traces the lives of several characters over the course of a single day in June 1923. The novel jumps between characters, tracing their inner monologues and their memories as they go about London, reminisce about their younger days, and worry about where their lives have brought them. Suzanne and Chris explore this web of connections and parallel lives, and dwell on particular moments of intensity: an overheard conversation at a party, an unexpected kiss, or even riding a bus.[Content warning: the novel and the episode contains discussion of mental illness and suicide.]SHOW NOTES.Virginia Woolf: Mrs. Dalloway.

“Bella en la adolescencia, llegó bruscamente el instante – por ejemplo, en el río, bajo los bosques de Clievenden – en que, en méritos de una contracción de este frío espíritu, Clarissa había frustrado a Richard. Y después en Constantinopla, y una y otra vez. Clarisa sabía qué era lo que le faltaba. No era belleza, no era inteligencia. Era algo central y penetrante; algo cálido que alteraba superficies y estremecía el frío contacto de hombre y mujer; o de mujeres juntas….” Fragmento de “La señora Dalloway” de Virginia Woolf Una de las novelistas inglesas que de un tiempo a esta parte ha suscitado mayor cantidad de estudios es Virginia Woolf. En pocos años todo parece haberse dicho acerca de la formación de su personalidad en el seno de una familia de holgada economía y de prestigio intelectual sobrado; de su particular sensibilidad, inseparable de su desarrollo como escritora; y de su inestabilidad mental que la condujo a la muerte. De los ingentes comentarios se desprende claramente que el amor al oficio de las letras se encontraba latente en Virginia Woolf cuando de pequeña buscaba libros en la biblioteca de su casa para satisfacer su voracidad lectora. La autora nació en 1.882 en Hyde Park Gate, Kensington, Londres. Fue la tercera de los hijos de Sir Leslie Stephen, editor de “The Dictionary of National Biography” - diccionario biográfico en lengua inglesa, publicado por primera vez entre 1.885 y 1.901, que consta de sesenta y tres volúmenes y en el que aparecen en orden alfabético la biografía de eminentes personalidades que vivieron en el Reino Unido -, y de Julia Duckworth, mujer subordinada a los dictámenes del esposo y al cuidado de sus hijos. Alguno de los rasgos de ambos, como el sarcasmo del padre y la sensibilidad de la madre, serán plasmados en la novela “Al faro” por los señores Ramsay. La débil salud de Virginia la obligó a apartarse de las usuales actividades de las niñas de su edad ya permanecer en casa leyendo todo lo que encontraba allí. La muerte de su madre en 1.895 puso a flote los síntomas del desequilibrio nervioso que Virginia Woolf guardaba en el fondo de su mente. Más adelante el esfuerzo de escribir la sumía en un estado de excitación aguda. La escritora no pudo soportar la vorágine de una nueva guerra, la II Guerra Mundial; ella que en 1.928 había dicho con optimismo: A su castigado cerebro vino a sumarse la fuerte impresión que le causó la muerte de su sobrino, combatiente en el bando republicano en la Guerra Civil española. Luego vendría el bombardeo de su casa londinense. Y en el último acceso de locura, que la hizo pensar en un decaimiento irreversible, Virginia Woolf decidió ahogarse en el río Ouse, la mañana del viernes veintiocho de marzo de 1.941, después de que dejara una nota de despedida a su esposo, que tanto la había cuidado. En 1.912 Virginia Stephen se había casado con el historiador y sociólogo Leonard Woolf. Juntos fundaron la editorial Hogarth Press, que publicó obras de vanguardia. Su casa del barrio londinense de Bloomsbury mantuvo un cenáculo literario y artístico conocido como el y del que ella fue partícipe destacada. Los asistentes a estas reuniones compartían gustos similares y unas creencias comunes en torno a lo que debía ser el arte además de charlar sobre cualquier tema, por muy trivial que fuese. Algunos habían pertenecido a la Sociedad que con propósitos parecidos había constituido un grupo de avanzados estudiantes en la Universidad de Cambridge a principios de siglo. Una de las asiduas a Bloomsbury fue Vanessa Bell, hermana de Virginia, quién ha descrito los primeros años del grupo en los siguientes términos: En el volumen autobiográfico “Beginning again” (Empezando de nuevo), Leonard Woolf incluye en el a los hermanos Vanessa, Virginia y Adrian Stephen; Lytton Strachey, Clive Bell, Leonard Woolf, John Maynard Keynes, Duncan Grant, E.M. Foster, Saxon Sydney y Desmond y Molly MacCarthy.No hay duda de que las pautas de comportamiento del grupo no encajaban con las imperantes en aquellos momentos. Eran todos ellos y ellas de una intelectualidad exquisita, escépticos, anti religiosos, enemigos de las usanzas sociales heredadas del victorianismo; cultivaban las relaciones sexuales con franqueza y entera libertad, y algunos se autoconsideraban de izquierdas. Sin embargo, no existió entre sus participantes una decidida intención de agruparse en o artístico. Aun así, aquellas conversaciones hasta las tantas de la noche conformaron la vida y la obra de Virginia Woolf. Sus dos primeras novelas, “Viaje de ida” de 1.915 y “Noche y día” de 1.917, deben mucho a los cauces de la narrativa tradicional, es decir, la modelación de los personajes sujeta a la influencia de una ordenada serie de acontecimientos. Pero a partir de 1.919, la autora empezó seriamente a reflexionar sobre cómo hacer una novelística libre de andamiajes cronológicos, sin intrigas argumentales y sin comedias ni tragedias que contar. Es interesante resaltar que por esas fechas ya había leído a James Joice y Dorothy Richardson. A ese mismo año, 1.919, corresponde su ensayo “La ficción moderna” en donde expresa: . El resultado inmediato de indagar precisamente tras > fue “El cuarto de Jacob”, escrita en 1.922, que anticipa logros posteriores. Se trata de una recolección de reflexiones por parte de varios personajes que revelan la personalidad del protagonista Jacob Flanders: desde su infancia y juventud hasta su prematura muerte en la Primera Guerra Mundial. La acción de “La señora Dalloway”, la gran novela de Virginia Woolf escrita en 1.925, transcurre dentro de los límites de un sólo día, comenzando cuando la esposa de un miembro del Parlamento se dispone a ultimar los detalles para una importante fiesta. La anfitriona, recorriendo las calles londinenses, rememora unos acontecimientos que creía olvidados. La asociación mental se activa en sus misteriosos mecanismos y las inesperadas impresiones se suceden. A intervalos y entre los recuerdos se oyen las campanas del que anuncian a la señora Dalloway la realidad del presente, osea, sus inmediatos quehaceres. Los sonidos, los colores y los más nimios detalles se acumulan con vívida presencia en “Al faro” de 1.927. Abren la primera página de esta historia los Ramsay, reunidos en la casona que poseen cerca del mar. A excepción del padre, el resto de la familia sueña con ir a la isla del faro que se divisa tras las ventanas. Las condiciones atmosféricas del atardecer aconsejan el aplazamiento de la excursión tal como lo previera el señor Ramsay. Bajo este intrascendente motivo aparece un tema profundo: el tiempo, que en su irreversible fluir todo lo altera. Si la primera parte de la novela capta las alegrías de un verano lleno de proyectos, la segunda se ocupa de la pospuesta visita con un interludio de diez años. Semejante lapso de tiempo indica que ya nada es igual: la casa ha perdido el esplendor de antaño, la muerte se ha llevado a varios de sus moradores, las ilusiones se han desvanecido. Y, llegados por fin los visitantes a su destino, ¿qué ocurre? Aquel lugar imaginado años antes como una maravillosa y excitante meta no es en realidad más que una decepcionante conclusión: > A esta novela, estimada por muchos como la mejor de Virginia Woolf, le siguió “Orlando”, escrita en 1.928. La trama de esta peculiar fantasía se extiende a lo largo de cuatro siglos. Su protagonista es un aristócrata dotado de una longevidad sin límites y una facultad que le permite transformarse en mujer. Pero como se lee en un momento de la obra: Sus dos últimas novelas, menos conseguidas que las anteriores, fueron “Los años” de 1.937, y “Entreacto” de 1.941. Compuso Virginia Woolf numerosos artículos para el suplemento literario del periódico Times, posteriormente reunidos bajo el título de “El lector común” (1.925-1.932). En “Una habitación propia” de 1.929, la autora plantea los problemas que salen al encuentro de las escritoras, partiendo del punto que a ella le parecía fundamental: >. Considerada como una de las escritoras referentes del modernismo vanguardista del siglo XX y del movimiento feminista, a Virginia Woolf le tocó vivir en un mundo de hombres. En su casa se respiraba arte, política y un ambiente tan liberal como complejo. A pesar de esto, fueron sus hermanos varones los únicos que pudieron estudiar en la universidad. A los trece años, Virginia sufrió un duro golpe: su madre murió repentinamente. Este hecho provocó en ella su primera crisis depresiva. A esto se unió, dos años más tarde la muerte de su hermana Stella. Pero esto no fue lo único por lo que tuvo que pasar. En una obra autobiográfica la autora desliza que tuvo que soportar abusos sexuales por parte de dos de sus hermanastros y que a raíz de ello jamás pudo dejar de sentir desconfianza hacia los hombres. Al fallecer su padre, en 1.905 y cuando tenía 22 años ya se había intentado suicidar. No lo consiguió pero sufrió una fuerte crisis nerviosa por la que tuvo que ser ingresada durante un tiempo. Hoy en día se considera que Virgina Woolf padeció un trastorno bipolar con fases depresivas severas. Los trastornos más graves que padeció, ya casada, los sufriría entre los año 1.913 y 1.915; Virginia llegó a ingerir cien gramos de veronal, en otro intento por quitarse la vida. En 1.923 conoció a la también escritora Vita Sackville-West, con la que mantuvo una relación amorosa. Vita también estaba casada y aunque la relación entre ellas acabó sin que se separasen de sus respectivos maridos, la amistad entre ambas mujeres se mantendría durante el resto de sus vidas. En el marco de la Operación León Marino, por la cual el ejército nazi iba a invadir Gran Bretaña, Hitler redactó una lista negra en la que se encontraban los nombres de autores tan carismáticos como Aldous Huxley, H.G. Wells y la propia Virginia Woolf. Ella ignoraba que existiera tal lista, pero en el caso de que Alemania acabara invadiendo el país, el matrimonio sabía que tarde o temprano los nazis irían a por ellos, puesto que Virginia era una renombrada intelectual y su esposo Leonard era judío. Llegado el caso, la pareja tenía planeado suicidarse en su garaje aspirando los gases del tubo de escape de su vehículo. Además, Leonard guardaba bajo llave un frasco con una dosis letal de morfina que le había proporcionado Adrián, el hermano psiquiatra de Virginia, por si se complicaban las cosas. Virginia Woolf se veía reflejada en los personajes de sus obras, que rezuman angustia y escepticismo, y en los cuales la idea del suicidio y el miedo a la gente son recurrentes. Le aterraba la soledad, era muy autocrítica y se sentía invadida a menudo por un sentimiento de culpa. También sufría terribles dolores de cabeza e insomnio. Algunos médicos que la trataron, atribuyeron a la escritura sus problemas de salud y algunos le recomendaron incluso que lo dejara, ya que los brotes más fuertes que sufría, que en su diario ella definía como “la ola” y “el horror”, se producían tras el gran esfuerzo que le suponía escribir. A pesar de ello, la escritura fue la tabla de salvación de Virgina Woolf ante el naufragio de su existencia. Pero el 28 de Marzo de 1.941, incapaz de hacer frente a la desesperación que la envolvía, se puso el abrigo, llenó los bolsillos de piedras y se adentró en el rio Ouse dejándose llevar por la corriente. Antes de tomar esa trágica decisión, escribió dos cartas, una para su hermana Vanessa y otra para su marido, las dos personas más importantes de su vida. En su carta de despedida de su querido esposo no sólo se percibe su padecimiento, tristeza y profundo dolor, sino también la gratitud y el gran amor que sentía hacia él. Su cuerpo fue encontrado tres semanas después. Virginia Woolf creía que era necesario que cada vez hubiera más mujeres que escribieran, e incluso llega a hacer una apología de las diferencias entre sexos; dejó escrito:

No conto “A casa de boneca”, aparecem personagens de outro conto famoso de Katherine, o “Prelúdio”, que foi publicado pela editora da Virginia Woolf com o marido, a Hogarth Press. As personagens que voltam a aparecer são as crianças da família Burnell. Uma dessas meninas aparece também em outros contos, que é a protagonista do “A casa de boneca”, a Kezia. Os Burnell são uma família rica que mora em uma área rural, que só tem uma escola. Então as crianças deles, bem como as meninas do juiz e do médico local, estudavam junto com as filhas do quitandeiro e do leiteiro. Mas existe um acordo tácito de que as crianças pobres não devem chegar perto das ricas. Especialmente as filhas da lavadeira, que são as meninas Kelvey. Essas meninas usam roupas feitas dos retalhos que a mãe recebe das famílias ricas. A história se desenrola nesse clima de segregação social e o narrador onisciente nos dá o ponto de vista sobretudo da caçula dos Burnell, a Kezia, que ainda é muito pequena, não incorporou o preconceito de classe e tem um olhar poético sobre a vida. Em alguns fragmentos da narrativa, o narrador reproduz as falas preconceituosas dos adultos como em um discurso direto, e reparem que se refere à caçula das meninas pobres, a Else, com o pronome possessivo “nossa”, como se a criança fosse uma propriedade. Cuidado pra não confundir que têm nomes semelhantes: Kezia é a caçula dos Burnell, e Kelvey é o sobrenome das meninas pobres. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Virginia Wolff had a talent for taking mundane observations and weaving them into enchanting tales. Something a normal as watching two men on an ordinary a day at the beach became an impassioned and poignant story in her hands.Born to an upstanding and literary Victorian family, Virginia Wolff suffered from serious psychological issues which may have been part of the genius behind her introspective and emotional powerful writing. She and her husband founded the famous British publishing house Hogarth Press in 1917.

The Scottish nature writer Jim Crumley takes the Slightly Foxed team on a tour of literary landscapes, from the lochs of the Trossachs and the mountainous Cairngorms to Aldo Leopold’s sand county in Wisconsin and Barry Lopez’s Arctic. Together they trace the chain of writers who have influenced Jim, from Robert Burns and Wordsworth to Thoreau and Walt Whitman, and see nature through the eyes of his hero, the great Scottish naturalist and photographer Seton Gordon. They discuss how folklore has demonized the wolf while Jim believes its reintroduction could hugely benefit the ecology of the Scottish landscape. And finally they venture off the beaten track with this month’s wide-ranging reading recommendations. Please find links to books, articles, and further reading listed below.

White taking flying lessons, smutty book titles, a passion for romantic ruins, John Berger shadowing a remarkable GP, a rebellious Mitford ‘rescued’ by a destroyer, a night to remember on the Titanic and much more besides.

Nadia Fusini"Nella stanza di Virginia Woolf"Salone del Libro Extrawww.salonelibro.itSabato 16 maggio - ore 19.45Nadia FusiniNella stanza di Virginia WoolfDalle sue case, stanze, giardini, dalle sue solitudini ma anche dai suoi incontri, Virginia Woolf ha raccontato la vita. Nadia Fusini ci restituisce la sua voce, una delle più importanti della letteratura di sempre.Virginia Woolf"Al faro"a cura di Nadia FusiniFeltrinelli Editorewww.feltrinellieditore.it"Al Faro": questo il vero titolo del romanzo di Virginia Woolf che la nuova traduzione di Nadia Fusini riporta all'originaria bellezza. Romanzo sperimentale, intonato alla ricerca di libertà formale che accomuna i grandi scrittori di questo secolo, "Al Faro" è un libro sulla memoria e l'infanzia; un'elegia alla luce che ha illuminato le figure della madre e del padre reali, che nel romanzo diventano il signore e la signora Ramsay. A tema è lo scontro tra il sì materno ("sì, andremo al faro") e il no paterno ("no, al faro non si può andare"), come esso risuona nel cuore del figlio James, e nella mente della figlia Virginia, che a distanza di anni si misura, scrivendo, con la potenza di quei fantasmi. L'effetto è liberatorio. Prima, confessa Virginia Woolf, "pensavo al babbo e alla mamma ogni giorno". Ora "li depone", li seppellisce. È la sua catarsi.Virginia Woolf"Scrivimi sempre a mezzanotte"Lettere d'amore e desiderioA cura di Elena Munafò. Con un saggio di Nadia Fusini. Donzelli Editorewww.donzelli.itLe lettere di Vita sono tradotte da Sara De Simone. Le lettere di Virginia sono tradotte da Nadia Fusini«Sono ridotta a una cosa che desidera Virginia. Stanotte avevo composto per te una lettera bellissima, nelle ore insonni, piene di incubi, ma è tutta sparita: mi manchi e basta, in un modo piuttosto semplice, disperato, umano. Mi manchi più di quanto potessi credere; ed ero preparata a sentire la tua mancanza, parecchio. Così, in verità, questa lettera è solo un grido di dolore».Vita a Virginia«Creatura carissima, era molto molto bella la lettera che hai scritto alla luce delle stelle a mezzanotte. Scrivi sempre a quell'ora, perché il tuo cuore ha bisogno del chiaro di luna per liquefarsi. Da qualche parte ho visto una pallina che continuava a saltare su e giù sul getto di una fontana: tu sei la fontana, io la pallina. È una sensazione che mi dai solo tu».Virginia a VitaVirginia Woolf ha quarant'anni. Insieme al marito Leonard dirige una casa editrice, la Hogarth Press, e il suo nome comincia a essere noto. Sta lavorando alla Signora Dalloway, che la consacrerà come una delle scrittrici più rivoluzionarie e apprezzate del suo tempo. Al diario confida di sentirsi vecchia, ma ha appena incontrato la donna che diventerà il suo più grande amore, l'affascinante Vita Sackville-West. Vita ha trent'anni. Anche lei scrittrice, è una giovane donna aristocratica; sposata con un diplomatico, è al centro di una fitta rete di amicizie e di amori. Viaggia molto, scrive poemi e racconti, e quando conosce Virginia è immediatamente attratta dalla sua bellezza spirituale e dal fascino della sua personalità. Poco dopo ha inizio la loro storia d'amore, che queste lettere ci raccontano. L'ampio carteggio tra le due donne andrà avanti per vent'anni: in esso le dichiarazioni appassionate si alternano a improvvise ritrosie, i rimbrotti alle ironie; Vita e Virginia adorano scherzare, prendersi in giro, punzecchiarsi, ma spesso il gioco cede il passo a slanci impetuosi e senza freni. Il volume raccoglie oltre un centinaio di lettere, le più significative, di questa storia, che culminerà per Virginia nella scrittura di Orlando: la biografia di un essere meraviglioso che vive per quattro secoli passando da un sesso all'altro, e che ha le fattezze della bella Sackville-West, è un omaggio a lei, un tentativo di rendere eterna una relazione minacciata dalle tante avventure di cui Vita non riesce a fare a meno. Con gli anni, la passione travolgente si trasforma in amicizia profonda. Vita sarà sempre l'«adorata creatura» di Virginia, l'amazzone dalle gambe lunghe e affusolate che attraversa a grandi falcate le strade del mondo. Allo stesso tempo, Vita non lascerà mai la sua amata, la riempirà di regali e attenzioni, e sarà proprio lei l'unica persona – oltre a Leonard e alla sorella Vanessa – a cui Virginia consentirà di avvicinarsi nei momenti più cupi delle sue malattie. Il loro amore, scrive Nadia Fusini nel suo saggio, «si tramuta in gelosia e in abbandono e trapassa in tradimento e in rimpianto, ma non finisce mai. Le due donne si incontrano, si separano, si scrivono, smettono di scriversi, riprendono a scriversi, e sempre la tenerezza, l'amicizia, la nostalgia riemergono, e tornano la luce e l'incanto». Continuano a cercarsi e a incontrarsi, fino alla fine: «con ogni probabilità, fecero ancora l'amore. Si abbracciarono, si baciarono ancora. E forse così, abbracciando Vita, Virginia tornò a sentire di abitare nel cuore dell'esistenza, e si sentì di nuovo in contatto con la vita, mentre si stava ormai allontanando nel mondo dell'irreale». Due scrittrici, due donne indipendenti, un grande amore. Queste lettere raccontano una storia la cui forza risplende ancora oggi, sfidando i canoni e il conformismo.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.it

Es la segunda parte de la historia de Virginia Woolf. Vamos a hablar de todo que pasó después de su boda con Leonard: de la editorial que montaron juntos, Hogarth Press, de “La señora Dalloway”, de su romance con otra escritora, Vita Sackville-West, de la guerra... y de otros acontecimientos interesantes. ¡Volvemos a Inglaterra!

Adeline Virginia Woolf was an English novelist, essayist, critic, and publisher active during the first half of the 20th century best known for her impact on the Modernist Movement, turning her into a pioneer for both feminist literary works and female rights altogether. In a time of dramatic changes, Woolf’s nonlinear approach to her narratives made her a household name amongst her contemporaries, and she consistently experimented with the written word throughout the entirety of her career. However, underneath her more public persona with friends and acquaintances, one often described as lively and witty, Virginia battled with waves of deep onset depression that many now consider to have been the result of bipolar disorder, and until her death knowledge of her condition was known only amongst those closest to her. Still, for the majority of her life, Woolf was able to persevere and work through these highs and lows and produce a substantial amount of work, novels such as Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and A Room of One’s Own. She fiercely advocated to tear down the various male institutions meant to oppress and deny women their right to have an education and become professionals themselves, pushing for an egalitarian mindset that she firmly believed would better society as a whole. Though she never had children, Virginia was happily married to her husband Leonard, and together they ran their own successful publishing house called Hogarth Press out of the basement of their home, and in times of darkness for Virginia, the couple would spend their time in the countryside, where Woolf would devote hours writing in recovery. It wasn’t until I started researching Virginia Woolf that I realized the immense impact she had not just on her generation, but on generations of women and men alike to come. She was a bright spark of inspiring feminism, a dynamic and gifted writer, and a woman who stood firmly in defiance of the binding, patriarchal constructs around her. Are we ready to meet Virginia?

This week on StoryWeb: Virginia Woolf’s novel Mrs. Dalloway. “Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself.” Has there ever been a more graceful first line of a novel than that? Virginia Woolf’s 1925 novel, Mrs. Dalloway, is graceful and poised, like her title character, ever one to have things “just so.” Her dinner party – toward which the whole novel rushes – is sumptuous, elegant, and in every possible way, “just so.” But of course, there’s much more here than meets the eye. Old bonds as well as old rifts and hurts swirl through the party as Clarissa Dalloway confronts Sally Seton (with whom she’d had a flirtation in her youth) and Peter Walsh (whose marriage proposal she had rejected in that same youth). In this modernist novel, all time is present at once, and as Clarissa, Sally, and Peter meet at the dinner party, they’re each – individually – transported three decades into the past, reliving the scintillating and very nearly risqué time at the country estate of Bourton when Clarissa kissed Sally, broke Peter’s heart, and met her future husband, Richard Dalloway. And yet there is even more seething underneath the surface of these upper-middle-class concerns. For this is London, 1923, post-World War I, a devastated London trying to pick up its bombed-out shards and rebuild itself. Running parallel to Clarissa, Sally, Peter, and Richard’s story is the plotline belonging to Septimus Warren Smith, a shell-shocked veteran. His Italian wife, Lucrezia, takes him on quiet walks in London parks and tries to soothe him. But Septimus won’t be soothed – just as Woolf seems to be saying that London, Europe, indeed the entire world won’t be soothed. As Septimus’s story makes abundantly clear, Septimus and his fellow veterans are not the walking wounded. They are very nearly the hobbling dead, passing time in a twilight evening. Woolf’s ability to pull Clarissa Dalloway together with Septimus Warren Smith is nothing short of miraculous. These two worlds – that of the privileged, moneyed class and that of the barely surviving veterans, the fodder for the aristocracy’s war – weave in and out of each other’s lives. Mrs. Dalloway is definitely worth reading – both on its own merits and as a way into American novelist Michael Cunningham’s 1998 retelling of it in The Hours. Clarissa Dalloway is a character you will not soon forget, whether you meet her as she was first conceived in the pages of Woolf’s novel or on the screen in Vanessa Redgrave’s portrayal of her or whether you meet permutations of Clarissa in Cunningham’s The Hours or watch Julianne Moore, Meryl Streep, and Nicole Kidman present their own takes on shades of Mrs. Dalloway and Virginia Woolf herself. If this is your first time reading Virginia Woolf, be gently forewarned. She is every bit the stream-of-consciousness modernist, playing, as she did, a central role in dismantling the traditional novel and then completely reinventing it. As Woolf said, “[It is] precisely the task of the writer to go beyond the ‘formal railway line of sentence' and to show how people ‘feel or think or dream . . . all over the place.’” British novelist E.M. Forster, a contemporary of Woolf’s, agreed with her description of what she was trying to do in Mrs. Dalloway. He said, “It is easy for a novelist to describe what a character thinks of. . . . But to convey the actual process of thinking is a creative feat, and I know of no one except Virginia Woolf who has accomplished it.” Given Woolf’s startling, groundbreaking, narrative-shattering approach to fiction, how does one actually set about reading Mrs. Dalloway? My advice is much the same as the advice I offered for reading William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury: simply let Woolf’s prose wash over you. Little by little, you’ll begin to grasp the story. And if you’re wondering what Woolf had in mind as she wrote Mrs. Dalloway, read excerpts from her diary! Much of the novel focuses on London walks taken by various characters. The Mrs. Dalloway Mapping Project is an excellent website, as is Clarissa Dalloway’s London. And if you ever find yourself in London and wish to retrace Mrs. Dalloway’s steps on her famous walk, you can download a written walking tour guide as well as an audio walking tour. You’ll also want to have with you Jean Moorcroft Wilson’s indispensable volume, Virginia Woolf's London: A Guide to Bloomsbury and Beyond. Numerous other resources tracing Woolf’s relationship to London and its outskirts can be found at the Blogging Woolf website. Learn more about Virginia Woolf by visiting the Virginia Woolf Society of Great Britain’s website. The Virginia Woolf Blog features an interactive timeline of Woolf’s life, complete with links to information about important people and events in her life. The New York Times also has a treasure trove of archived articles about Woolf. Of course, Woolf was a central figure in the Bloomsbury Group, which also had a country home in Charleston. A key part of Bloomsbury was Hogarth Press, which Woolf and her husband, Leonard, established as a vehicle for publishing modernist literature, including the poetry of T.S. Eliot. Learn more about the press at Yale University’s Modernism Lab website. In addition to her outstanding collection of writing, Virginia Woolf is also well known for her profound struggles with mental illness, which led her to commit suicide in 1941. An excellent multimedia website – Woolf, Creativity, and Madness – provides deep insight into this aspect of Woolf’s life. Ready to read Mrs. Dalloway? You’ll definitely want a hard copy of this complex novel (and besides, since the novel is still under copyright in the United States, there are no legal, free online versions). You might also find it interesting to read more of Woolf’s work. I recommend The Virginia Woolf Reader, edited by Mitchell A. Leaska. Whether you read the novel or not, you’ll definitely want to watch the outstanding film based on it. Vanessa Redgrave plays Mrs. Dalloway, and screenplay writer Eileen Atkins is known for her portrayal of Virginia Woolf in British theatrical productions. She has played Woolf in the one-woman show, A Room of One's Own, and she also played Woolf in Vita and Virginia, a play which Atkins herself wrote. In the New York production of Vita and Virginia, Redgrave played Vita Sackville-West opposite Atkins's Woolf. Visit thestoryweb.com/woolf for links to all these resources and to watch an excerpt from the film. The video clip features Clarissa and Peter at Bourton and moves ahead thirty years as Clarissa, Peter, and Sally reflect on that summer during Clarissa’s dinner party. You can then listen to the only known recording of Virginia Woolf’s voice. Recorded in 1937 as part of a BBC radio broadcast, the clip features Woolf’s thoughts on craftsmanship and language. Tune in next week, when StoryWeb will feature Michael Cunningham’s novel The Hours and the film based on it. The Hours will shift and deepen your understanding of Virginia Woolf and Mrs. Dalloway.

Cynthia Bond is the guest. Her debut novel, Ruby, is now available from Hogarth Press.  Ruby is the official July selection of The TNB Book Club. Edwidge Danticat raves “Reading Cynthia Bond’s Ruby, you can’t help but feel that one day this book will be considered a staple of our literature, a classic. Lush, deep, momentous, much like the people and landscape it describes, Ruby enchants not just with its powerful tale of lifelong quests and unrelenting love, but also with its exquisite language. It is a treasure of a book, one you won’t soon forget.” And the Dallas Morning News says "In Ruby, Bond has created a heroine worthy of the great female protagonists of Toni Morrison…and Zora Neale Hurston… Bond’s style of writing is as magical as an East Texas sunrise, with phrases so deftly carved, the reader is often distracted from the brutality described by the sheer beauty of the language.” Monologue topics:  mail, war, peace, duality, mocking myself.

Monica Drake is the guest. Her new novel, The Stud Book, is now available from Hogarth Press. Cheryl Strayed says “Monica Drake has written a take-your-breath-away good, blow-your-mind wise, crack-your-heart-open beauty of a novel. The Stud Book is a smart, sexy, comic, compassionate, absorbing, and necessary story of our times.” And Publishers Weekly says “What really stands out is [Drake's] depiction of [the] city. This is not the twee wonderland of Portlandia…Drake combines [her characters’] lives in a quirky, knowing way, showing the complexities of modern-day female life, species Pacific Northwest native.” Monologue topics:  Sweden, responding to criticism, Google Translator, self-loathing, weakness, humiliation.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Adam Barrows is a Professor in the English Department at Carleton University in Ottawa. The focus of his research for the last eight years has been the relationship between time, literary modernism, and imperialism. His background is in the history of science and his theoretical approach to literature is largely historical materialist, drawing heavily on the Western Marxist tradition, from the Frankfurt School to Raymond Williams and Henri Lefebvre. Growing out of his interest in twentieth-century British literature he led a seminar on the Hogarth Press, as he puts it "one of the most important venues for the production and dissemination of the experimental writings that would come to define the modernist literary canon. Their express purpose was to enable the publication of works that would otherwise never have found a home in the conventional publishing industry, including their own. In addition to publishing such central works of literary modernism as T.S. Eliot's Poems (1919) and The Waste Land (1923), Virginia Woolf's Jacob's Room (1922) and Katherine Mansfield's Prelude (1918), the Hogarth Press was also committed to the publication of radically dissident anti-imperialist works such as Leonard Woolf's own Imperialism and Civilization (1928), Lord Oliver's The Anatomy of African Misery (1928), Edward John Thompson's The Other Side of the Medal (1925) and C.L.R. James's The Case for West-Indian Self Government (1933)." We met at his Carleton University office to talk about Virginia and Leonard Woolf, and the history and output of the Hogarth Press.

Born in the mind of John Randle at the age of 14 when he first entered his school's press room, the Whittington Press started life in a disused cottage. Its first book, Richard Kennedy's A Boy at the Hogarth Press, was printed on weekends during 1971-1972 on an 1848 Columbian. Matrix -  the Randles' revered annual publication on fine press printing - started out as a planned slim volume of some thirty two pages saddle stitched into stiff covers; the objective was for it to serve as “ a means of seeing in print a few short pieces which would not in themselves justify the production of individual titles, but which together might make a worthwhile publication.” Matrix 1 grew to seventy two pages, and had to be square backed.   With it the Randle's created an environment in which “author, artist and printer, punch-cutter and type-caster “can work separately and together to both nurture and explore each others' skills. The revered annual provides an important platform for typographical dialog among and between fine press aficionados on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. I met John Randle recently in his repurposed gardener's cottage to talk about his Press, his calling, and his thoughts about the practice of fine press printing.
