Description

The Glass Roof: Virginia Woolf as Novelist delves into the multifaceted and often contradictory critical perspectives surrounding Virginia Woolf's novels. This study aims to clarify the essence of Woolf’s work by examining the evolution of her ideas and the innovative techniques that define her writing. By situating Woolf within her historical and intellectual context, the book argues for an organic progression in her thought and form, tracing her development across her nine novels. Rejecting the simplistic view of Woolf as merely an impressionist or stylist, it asserts her standing as a serious artist committed to conveying a unified vision of life and experience. Her repudiation of the positivistic realism of earlier English novelists, alongside contemporaries like D.H. Lawrence and James Joyce, exemplifies a quest for new philosophical and formal perspectives. While Woolf’s artistic success has often been overshadowed by an overemphasis on her prose style, this study underscores the symbiotic relationship between her content and form, urging a deeper understanding of her work's profound intellectual underpinnings. The book also explores Woolf’s life and the Bloomsbury Group, a significant yet often misunderstood influence on her work. Despite being socially central to Bloomsbury, Woolf's intellectual pursuits and artistic vision were distinct from the group's collective ethos. Her novels, shaped by her philosophical perspectives rather than group conformity, reveal an individual grappling with the complexities of human character, art, and existence. Woolf’s tragic suicide in 1941 marked the culmination of lifelong struggles with mental illness, compounded by the stresses of war and her exacting creative standards. Yet, her legacy endures through her groundbreaking contributions to literature and her exploration of the human condition. The Glass Roof provides a critical framework to understand Woolf not just as a stylist but as a profound thinker and innovator who redefined the possibilities of the novel. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1954.
