Jane Goldman offers a revisionary, feminist reading of Woolf"s work. Focusing on Woolf"s engagement with the artistic theories of her time, Goldman analyzes Woolf"s fascination with the Post-Impressionist exhibition of 1920 and the solar eclipse of 1927 by linking her response to a much wider literary and cultural context. Illustrated with color pictures, this book will appeal not only to scholars working on Woolf, but also to students of modernism, art history, and women"s studies.
