Virginia Woolf and the Literature of the English Renaissance by Alice Fox, Late Professor of English Alice Fox

thenewyorkbookshelf's review

3.0

I hoped that this book would provide more information into the symbolic effect of Virginia Woolf's application of Renaissance allusions and intertextual references in her texts, but it was more of a tracking and chronology of her engagement with specific texts, what she admired about them, what she criticised and how they manifested in her novels.

I skimmed sections about "The Years" or "Between the Acts" and other books I haven't read yet because I think I can revisit these sections and was mainly interested in commentary on "Orlando"
