Zusatztext "This important new scholarship is teaching us to re-read Woolf as a European writer, and in a European context...maps fields of knowledge almost unknown to English-language scholars: decades of scholarly work...Woolf is now a staple of modern literature in the English-speaking world, both for students and for the 'common reader' Woolf herself so valued. Her important in other languages and cultures has only recently been recognised, and these books are valuable introductions to the topic."

Klappentext The intellectual scope and cultural impact of British writers cannot be assessed without reference to their European fortunes. These essays, prepared by an international team of scholars, critics and translators, record the ways in which Virginia Woolf has been translated, evaluated and emulated in different national and linguistic areas of Europe. Diverse as her reception has been, as analyst of consciousness, as a decadent (censored and banned), as stylistic innovator of Modernism, as crusading feminist and socialist, and as a model for other writers, she has emerged as one of the foremost writers and principal icons of the century.
