It is insightful, well-researched and I found it a very helpful guide. ( ) The Grumpy Vegan just finished Julia Briggs' Virginia Woolf--An inner life. This is a stupendous book. Part biography and part literary criticism, each chapter focuses on one or more of Virginia's fiction and nonfiction. It's a brilliant insight into Virginia's creative process. Briggs' writes with great insight. "As the guardians and interpreters of culture, artists are or become peculiarly receptive, or vulnerable to their times. Though Woolf did not believe in a personal God, "A Sketch of the Past" shows that she did believe in some kind of 'world soul' embodied in beauty, form and meaning, and transmitted by great artists: 'all human beings -- are connected with this; ... the whole world is a work of art; ... we are parts of the works of art ... we are the words; we are the music; we are the thing itself.' But if we are the words and the music, we must also participate in evil creations -- in bombs, concentration camps and gas chambers." ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
"Virginia Woolf is the greatest of all British women writers and one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century writing. Julia Briggs' aim in this book is to put the writing back absolutely at the centre of Woolf's life; to read that life through her books, using the novels themselves to create a compelling new form of biography. Using Woolf's own matchless commentary on the creative process through her letters, diaries and essays, Julia Briggs has produced a book which is a picture of an artist at full stretch but also a meditation on the whole nature of creativity."--BOOK JACKET.
