I enjoyed talking with Amy Shearn and Hannah Oberman-Breindel this summer when they were in the Artist-in-Residence writing program at Woodstock's Byrdcliffe Arts Colony, and even more so on our recent podcast discussion of Virginia Woolf's To The Lighthouse, which is considered to be one of the great literary masterpieces of the twentieth century.  I had not previously read any Virginia Woolf and I had not studied literary modernism. Despite being uninitiated, I was struck by the way Woolf captured the human condition and, in a realistic way, the unstructured non-linear thought processes of her characters. Written in 1927, the novel spans the time from just before to just after World War I The story itself, which has numerous autobiographical overlaps, revolves around the Ramsey family and their guests at their summer home by the sea in the Scottish Hebrides. Lots goes on, but only in the sense that life goes on, and it's all really great.  Our podcast discussion was very much in the vein of Woolf's stream of consciousness narrative style, depicting “the multitudinous thoughts and feelings which pass through the mind" of a narrator, “an overlapping of images and ideas”. Virginia Woolf wrote in her diary,  “The method of writing smooth narrative can't be right. Things don't happen in one's mind like that, we experience, all the time, an overlapping of images and ideas, and modern novels should convey our mental confusion instead of neatly rearranging it. The reader must sort it out”. And we did try to sort it out!

In this adaptation prepared especially for radio, Virginia Woolf's ground-breaking stream of consciousness novel, To The Lighthouse, is brought to life. In a sort of ghost story that plays with time, memory, and recollection, a young boy, over a period of ten years, tries to journey to the lighthouse, a stormy boat ride away from his family's summer vacation home. The life of his nurturing mother, hemmed in by social and family strictures, is contrasted with that of her artist friend who lives in artistic freedom, but alone.

To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf audiobook. The Ramsey family, with house guests, visit the Isle of Skye at least twice. The plot is not at all the point though, as this is a book about how people think and feel and relate. There’s insight into the world of childhood thought and emotion, and a variety of views of adult cares and perceptions. I hope this doesn’t make it sound ‘difficult’, it doesn’t need to be – just let the sentences flow and make your own sense of the words. It’s perhaps as close as a novel can come to the highly individual experience of looking at a painting. … Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this special, double-length episode, Sally leaves her boat to seek refuge at a friend's house on another island in Oxford, as the rains have flooded the meadow of her narrowboat community. Returning to the boat as the waters subside, she reads a poem by Elizabeth Bishop, then settles down to study a collection of essays by Will Self. The essays lead Sally to reread a chilling short story by the surrealist writer Franz Kafka - and a striking phrase reminds her of one of her favourite sentences in all of modernist literature. Sally's musings are interrupted by a visitation from her seven-year-old neighbour, Maeve Magnus. They discuss why we read, the value of sad stories, and reminisce about trips to a local café for communal reading and ice cream. Sally's reading makes her think of her own medical treatment, and she announces plans for the future of the podcast. Further Reading: Elizabeth Bishop (1911 –1979) was an American poet and short-story writer. She was effectively orphaned in early childhood and suffered all her life from ill health. In reaction to the then-prevalent confessional style of American poetry, her works reveal very little of her private life. She published the poem Crusoe in England in her collection, Geography III, in 1979. In the poem, Crusoe has left his famous desert island to return to his home island, but ironically feels more displaced and lonely than when he was a castaway. Robinson Crusoe is of course the hero of Daniel Defoe's 1719 eponymous book,  often claimed to be the first novel published in English. It's probably based at least in part on the story of the real-life castaway Alexander Selkirk, and was a huge success in its day, with many readers initially fooled into believing that it was a work of factual autobiography. Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886) lived most of her life in virtual seclusion. She wrote deeply private, radically experimental poems, which she hid in her room and were never published in her lifetime. After her death, her sister found her cache of poems and she's now considered one of the greatest poets in the English language The Dickinson poem which Sally riffs on was published posthumously in 1891 in a collection entitled Poems, Series 2. The poem seems to celebrate her position in life, estranged from society and fame, finding communality with similar outsider figures. It reads in full: I'm Nobody! Who are you? Are you – Nobody – too? Then there's a pair of us! Don't tell! they'd advertise – you know! How dreary – to be – Somebody! How public – like a Frog – To tell one's name – the livelong June – To an admiring Bog! Will Self's collection of essays, entitled Why Read: Selected Writings 2001 – 2021, was published in November 2022 by Grove Press UK. It's packed with advice for readers - what to read, how to read, and discusses why we read; it also features insights into some of his favourite writers, including Virginia Woolf, Franz Kafka, George Orwell, Joseph Conrad, W.G. Sebald and William S Burroughs. A Country Doctor was written in 1917 by the German-speaking Czech writer Franz Kafka. Kafka was born in Prague in 1883 and died in 1924. His best known works are The Metamorphosis, The Trial and The Castle; his writings are frequently surrealistic, bizarre and unsettling, exploring themes of  existentialism, absurdity, alienation and guilt. To The Lighthouse was written by Virginia Woolf in 1927 and is perhaps her most highly regarded and radically innovative novel. It deals with loss, subjectivity, the encroachments and damages of time, the nature of art and the problems of perception. The sentence Sally discusses is a pivotal moment in the middle section of the book, as Woolf speeds up her account of her characters' lives as if they are caught in a fast-forward film; so the death of Mrs Ramsey, a central character, is dealt with in one almost-throwaway sentence. Maeve Magnus is reading Michael Morpurgo's collection of short stories, Best Mates, published in 2015, which includes the story The Silver Swan. Beware spoilers! Ronald Stuart Thomas (1913 - 2000), published as R. S. Thomas, was a Welsh poet and priest. Throughout his life, he moved to increasingly isolated parishes to escape what he considered to be the materialism of the modern world and the creeping influence of English culture. Throughout his life, he wrote poems of breathtaking spirituality and insight, combining a love for the Welsh landscape with a grittily realistic portrayal of the people who inhabited the landscape.  The Sick Rose is a "poem of experience" which William Blake published in his extraordinary collection, Songs of Innocence and of Experience. Blake (1757 – 1827) was born into the London working classes and worked as a printmaker, set apart from the literary establishment of the time, composing, creating, illustrating and printing his works himself. A visionary and wholly unique figure, considered by some to be verging on the insane, he was largely unrecognised in his life, but is now seen as a trail-blazing figure in the Romantic movement, celebrated both for his poetry and his visual art.

It's episode 3 of Book Chat! And this month we are travelling hundreds of years back, to a book Pandora's always wanted to read (Orlando, by Virginia Woolf) and one of Bobby's all-time favourites (Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte.) Last episode, Pandora groaned at the prospect of Wuthering Heights, which she read - and loathed - for GCSE. So has she changed her mind? We discuss the two books and also the culture around the two authors: the upper-class, sexually liberal art collective, the Bloomsbury group, which Virginia Woolf was part of, and 'the Bronte myth' which has become part of the Wuthering Heights lore. How were the books received at the time - and do they stand up as modern reads?

Step back in time with us as Kate visits Charleston home of Vanessa Bell and important gathering place for the members of the Bloomsbury Group, that collection of writers and artists including Virginia Woolf that coalesced around Gordon Square in London. Undaunted by the ghosts of her relatives Nino Strachey, author of a new book, Young Bloomsbury, joins us to discuss the up-and-coming younger generation, such as writer Julia Strachey, sculptor Stephen Tomlin and photographer Cecil Beaton, who followed in their footsteps. Nino considers the interplay of creative inspiration that flowed between the generations, but also the spirit of tolerance and acceptance of different gender identities and chosen families that allowed these young creatives to flourish.

Modernity brought many changes to society, and with those came a change in literature. This week The Good Fight dives into 20th century literature with Virginia Woolf's To The Lighthouse, a book where the characters are far more alive than the story. As these characters experience life, our hosts will discuss how the novel's portrayal of time and relationship can inform a Christian life. Resources for this episode: The text

TO THE LIGHTHOUSE by Virginia Woolf & THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY by Matt Haig.

Then, Bailey explores the multiverse in Matt Haig's THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY. Is this the timeline where she thinks the book lives up to the hype? We also contemplate our reader wheelhouses, change famous authors' fates, and assign Toby some unexpected shame. CW: Suicide

Join us as we discuss The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro. It's a modern classic, 1989 Booker Prize winner and the author is also the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature but none of this led Laura to hold back, calling it 'dull' and incredibly slow reading.

“On or around December 1910, human character changed.” Virginia Woolf's 1927 masterpiece To The Lighthouse teaches us how to take stock of the experience of living in the modern age. We know that we experience time not uniformly, but how do we make sense of that? How can it be that years pass and we barely blink an eye, but an afternoon can stretch into near-eternity, when we want something, or are denied what we desire? How do we account properly for the different ways in which men and women pass their time during a period when such roles were about to be challenged so powerfully by many including Woolf, in this book and also in Three Guineas, and A Room of One's Own? Is consciousness the true standard for experience, and external, measured time only the tide against which we strive to assert ourselves? Professor Jared Stark is a scholar of literature and Professor of Literature and Comparative Literature at Eckerd College in Florida. He has written about Woolf and taught her works for many years. His most recent book, A Death of One's Own: Literature, Law, and the Right to Die was published in 2018. Special thanks to Tamsin Shaw, author of Nietzsche's Political Skepticism, for lending her voice (reliving childhood moments when her mother asked her to recite Woolf for dinner guests!) to some of Woolf's quotes.

“On or around December 1910, human character changed.” Virginia Woolf’s 1927 masterpiece To The Lighthouse teaches us how to take stock of the experience of living in the modern age. We know that we experience time not uniformly, but how do we make sense of that? How can it be that years pass and we barely blink an eye, but an afternoon can stretch into near-eternity, when we want something, or are denied what we desire? How do we account properly for the different ways in which men and women pass their time during a period when such roles were about to be challenged so powerfully by many including Woolf, in this book and also in Three Guineas, and A Room of One’s Own? Is consciousness the true standard for experience, and external, measured time only the tide against which we strive to assert ourselves? Professor Jared Stark is a scholar of literature and Professor of Literature and Comparative Literature at Eckerd College in Florida. He has written about Woolf and taught her works for many years. His most recent book, A Death of One’s Own: Literature, Law, and the Right to Die was published in 2018.

Having a look at To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf.

Aleta presents the backstory of Virginia Woolf, celebrated author and feminist icon. She introduced the use of stream of consciousness in her writing and continues to inspire us today despite her struggles with (or perhaps because of) mental illness. Warning: discussion of suicide.

Scott Barley makes sublime, juddering, immersive, multi-sensory films. They drift across an experimental, nature doc, slow cinema axis - sometimes with brute force and sometimes with an aching tranquility. In a few years he has amassed a formidable filmography of short film work and in 2017 presented his debut feature, Sleep Has Her House, to the world. In late 2018, Scott travelled to the School of Film & Television at Falmouth University where he and his film held the audience rapt. That conversation is presented here in full, bookended by Neil and Dario getting to grips with a piece of work that both invites and defies interpretation. They also, as is customary, talk about feeling and meaning in cinema, the type of cinema that needs and deserves attention from a podcast like this and film culture in general, and the overwhelming and altering experience of Scott’s work. Throughout the episode there is audio from Scott’s short films, which can be found on his Vimeo page here, and from his music, which can be bought on Bandcamp here. Tracks featured are To The Lighthouse, Nebulae and Sleep Has Her House. A special thank you to Dr Kingsley Marshall and Film at Falmouth for making this episode possible. In closing, the episode features more pauses and collecting of thoughts than normal. Rather than edit a lot of the indecisiveness out, we’ve kept it in, because it felt right in this instance, because the film in question had a greater impact on us in that regard than normal. It is a really special piece of work. We thank Scott for sharing it with us, and can’t wait to hear what you make of this talk and Scott’s films.  Also listen on: iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-cinematologists-podcast/id981479854?mt=2 Website: www.cinematologists.com PlayerFM: https://player.fm/series/series-2416725 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0RjNz8XDkLdbKZuj9Pktyh Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cinematologists

“On or around December 1910, human character changed.” Virginia Woolf’s 1927 masterpiece To The Lighthouse teaches us how to understand the experience of living in the modern age. We know that we don't experience time uniformly, but how do we make sense of that? How can it be that years pass and we barely blink an eye, but an afternoon can stretch into near eternity, when we want something, or are denied what we desire? Professor Jared Stark has written about Woolf and taught her work for many years. His most recent book, A Death of One's Own: Literature, Law, and the Right to Die, was published in 2018. 

Jacob and Ryan dive into some major themes in Virginia Woolf's hefty novel, To The Lighthouse.

The seventh book from Benjamin Percy is the terrifying THE DARK NET. He tells James what he's learned writing comics, how he juggles his projects, why his sister slept with the lights on into her 20s (spoiler: it's Ben's fault), and how he overcame being a closeted genre fan.
