Synopsis

Book by Woolf Virginia

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

The highly controversial Three Guineas was Virginia Woolf′s most explicit statement of her feminism. Forming part of the prestigious Shakespeare Head Press series of Woolf′s works, this authoritative new edition includes her carefully considered selection of photographs, her discursive endnotes and extensive new annotations of her references and allusions.

In an illuminating introduction, editor Naomi Black guides the reader through this allusive, highly artful book, discussing its structure and argument and tracing the history of its composition and critical reception. She analyses the text as a representation of Woolf′s feminism, including the way in which the book′s form subverts male conventions of scholarship. All variants and emendations are listed, but the text itself is free of interventions.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The author received three separate requests for a gift of one guinea-one for a women’s college building fund, one for a society promoting the employment of professional women, and one to help prevent war and “protect culture, and intellectual liberty.” This book is a threefold answer to these requests-and a statement of feminine purpose.
