Anne E. Fernald – författare

With thirty-nine original chapters from internationally prominent scholars, The Oxford Handbook of Virginia Woolf is designed for scholars and graduate students. Feminist to the core, each chapter examines an aspect of Woolf''s achievement and legacy. Each contribution offers an overview that is at once fresh and thoroughly grounded in prior scholarship. Six sections focus on Woolf''s life, her texts, her experiments, her life as a professional, her contexts, and her afterlife. Opening chapters on Woolf''s life address the powerful influences of family, friends, and home. The section on her works moves chronologically, emphasizing Woolf''s practice of writing essays and reviews alongside her fiction. Chapters on Woolf''s experimentalism pay special attention to the literariness of Woolf''s writing, with opportunity to trace its distinctive watermark while ''Professions of Writing'', invites readers to consider how Woolf worked in cultural fields including and extending beyond the Hogarth Press and the TLS. The ''Contexts'' section moves beyond writing to depict her engagement with the natural world as well as the political, artistic, and popular culture of her time. The final section on afterlives demonstrates the many ways Woolf''s reputation continues to grow, across the globe, and across media, in ideas and in artistic expression. Of particular note, chapters explore three distinct Woolfian traditions in fiction: the novel of manners, magical realism, and the feminist novel.

Her Own Voice tells the stories of eight radical women who responded to social oppression and helped create the modernist movement.As we witness the strong resurgence of trad wife popularity in modern culture, this book calls on women of every generation to actively wrestle with old ideas about what it means to be "good" and even "lovable."

Altogether, they provide an inspirational reminder that the social and political upheaval of our time is nothing new; women have been working to overcome enormous barriers in the name of their art throughout history.
