Katerina Koutsantoni

Virginia Woolf's Common Reader (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In the first comprehensive study of Virginia Woolf's Common Reader, Katerina Koutsantoni draws on theorists from the fields of sociology, sociolinguistics, philosophy, and literary criticism to investigate the thematic pattern underpinning these books with respect to the persona of the 'common reader'. As she explores and challenges the meaning of impersonality in Woolf's Common Reader, Koutsantoni shows how related issues, including authority, reader-response, intersubjectivity, and dialogism, offer useful perspectives from which to examine Woolf's work.

Inhaltsangabe

Contents: Introduction - conversing with the reader
Why go on with these essays?
We must remain readers
I do not love to be led by the nose ... by authority
To forget one's own sharp, absurd little personality ... and practise anonymity
In all writing, it's the person's own edge that counts
Society is a nest of glass boxes one separate from another
Conclusion - with this odd mix up of public and private I left off
Bibliography
Index.
