5.0 out of 5 stars
Best work yet on Woolf's experience of War.,
By
This review is from: Virginia Woolf and the Great War (Hardcover)
This is a watershed study by Dr. Levenback on Virginia Woolf's personal experience of World War I, and her transformation through her writing of the deep and lasting effects of The Great War on herself, the non-combatants of Britain, and the rest of the 20th century. Sustained throughout by original research and exceptional insight, this lucidly written book brings to life Woolf's personal and intellectual response to WWI. Additionally, Dr. Levenback presents Woolf's literary use of the war via the characters in her novels in a stimulating and very enjoyable manner. If you read one book this year about Virginia Woolf and her writing, this deserves to be the one.

Excellent overview of Woolf's response to war,
By
This review is from: Virginia Woolf and the Great War (Hardcover)
This book length work is an excellent overview of a topic that is often treated in separate articles but forms one of the most coherent connections between Woolf's novels and the ideas that she develops in her essays. Highly recommended.
