内容説明
Virginia Woolf, said E.M. Forster, "liked writing with an intensity which few writers have attained or even desired". Writing was not an extra in her life, but the activity that allowed her to carry on living. In her career as a writer, Virginia Woolf, through her joint ownership of the Howgarth Press, had an usual degree of control over her own work. This made possible a career of extraordinary experimentation and formal inventiveness. No one of her works was like any other. She never settled on one way of writing because she never settled on one view about life. In her work, integration, meaning and belief are always counter-balanced by disintegration and scepticism. This book returns again and again to the questions of what Virginia Woolf herself took her purposes as a writer to be and to the changing and conflicting aims that she herself formulated in her essays as well as her fiction and her polemical works. She wrote as a woman, as a psychologist, as an "outsider" and social critic, as a poet and a visionary. The story of her career, of her choices and her experiments in form does not end with her celebrated modernist works "Mrs.
Dalloway", "To the Lighthouse" and "The Waves". In this book some emphasis is placed elsewhere, on other, less finished achievements, such as "The Years", "A Sketch of the Past", "Between the Acts" and her "Diary", works in which formal elegance gives way, towrds the end of her life, to more untidy and unguarded works.

内容説明
This book tells the story of Virginia Woolf's literary career. It emphasises the importance of her ownership of the Hogarth Press, whereby she gained the freedom to write as she pleased. This made possible a career of extraordinary formal innovations. Each of her books was unlike every other. Her career was a series of different choices, statements and masks. This book attempts to discover why, at each point in her career, she chose to write as she did.

内容説明
In Virginia Woolf's life, writing was the activity that mattered more than anything else: she would not have survived without it. She was her own publisher and had an unusual degree of control over her own work. This enabled her to pursue a career of extraordinary experimentation and inventiveness. It has never been sufficiently stressed that every one of her books was quite different in technique from every other. John Mepham argues that she never settled on one way of writing because she never settled on one view of life. Her purposes as a writer constantly changed. Mepham tells the story of her career as a series of choices and experiments, always grounded in specific historical contexts.
