Informazioni su questo ebook
Virginia Woolf's novel 'Between the Acts' stands as a poignant reflection on the complexities of human relationships and the fleeting nature of time. Set against the backdrop of a village play being performed on the eve of World War II, Woolf delves into themes of identity, class, and the passage of time through her lyrical prose and stream-of-consciousness narrative style. The novel is a testament to Woolf's skillful storytelling and her ability to capture the intricacies of the human experience. 'Between the Acts' serves as a fitting conclusion to Woolf's career, showcasing her mastery of the modernist form and her profound understanding of the human condition. Virginia Woolf's own struggles with mental illness and the societal constraints placed upon women undoubtedly informed her writing, adding depth and poignancy to the novel. Through 'Between the Acts,' Woolf invites readers to ponder the ways in which art and performance shape our understanding of ourselves and the world around us, making it a must-read for fans of modernist literature and philosophical fiction.
Informazioni sull'autore
Virginia Woolf is regarded as one of the seminal figures in modernist literature of the early 20th century, with her work pioneering narrative styles that captured the complexities of human consciousness. Born Adeline Virginia Stephen on January 25, 1882, in London, England, she was an integral member of the Bloomsbury Group, an assemblage of intellectuals, artists, and writers. Her essays, novels, and reviews demonstrate her deep engagement with feminist themes, personal struggles, and innovative literary techniques. Woolf's narrative style can be characterized by her use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device, and the probing psychological depth she employed to examine her characters' inner lives. 'Between the Acts' (1941), one of her later novels, meditates on the intricate interplay between individual consciousness and communal identity, set against the backdrop of an English country pageant. As with many of Woolf's works, the novel is not driven by a conventional plot but rather by the interweaving of internal monologues and rich symbolism that reflects the teetering edge of Britain on the brink of World War II. Virginia Woolf's contributions to the literary world extend beyond her own publications, as she also ran the Hogarth Press with her husband Leonard Woolf, fostering the careers of many other influential writers. Woolf's tragic death in 1941, by suicide, has not diminished the lasting impact of her extensive oeuvre upon the literary landscape.
