Description
Justyna Kostkowska provides an in-depth study of the longest creative period in Virginia Woolfs career, leading to the publication of The Waves. The study is a feminist consideration of the complex historical and personal factors, such as censorship and impersonality, that motivated Woolfs experiment with genre and her portrayal of the feminine. Reading A Room of Ones Own, Orlando , the diary, essays, and letters of the period and the three holograph drafts of The Waves as a part of one creative process, Kostkowska traces Woolfs method of subverting the patriarchal binaries of mind/body, nature/culture, and male/female through poetic metaphor.
