Wild Outbursts of Freedom - Reading Virginia Woolf's Short Fiction

Klappentext A pivotal figure in the world of novelists, Virginia Woolf was an outsider as a short story writer. Her stories form a large part of her output, but they were routinely sidelined in favor of her novels, which remain her pre-eminent literary legacy. Bringing together information from unpublished sources, Skrbic provides a long-overdue examination of Woolf's experiments with the short story form. Offering a model for the analysis of Woolf's short fiction, this book gives prominence to the way in which Woolf utilizes the short story's indeterminate frame to question the form, structure, and conventionalities of fiction. Scholars, students, and fans of Woolf will profit from this careful consideration of a neglected area of Woolf scholarship. Zusammenfassung Explores Virginia Woolf's attitude toward the short story and her idea of short story composition.
