Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Vita (Victoria Mary) Sackville-West (1892-1962) English poet and novelist, born into an old aristocratic family, proprietors of Knole House in Kent. Vita Sackville-West wrote about the Kentish countryside and she was the chief model for Orlando in Virginia Woolf 's novel of that same title from 1928. Sackville-West's best known poem, THE LAND, was awarded the Hawthorne Prize in 1927. The country habit has me by the heart, ('Winter' from The Land Victoria Mary Sackville-West was the only child of Lionel Edward, third Baron of Sackville, and Victoria Josepha Dolores Catalina Sackville-West, his first cousin and the illegitimate daughter of the diplomat Sir Lionel Sackville-West. She was educated privately. As a child she started to write poetry, writing her first ballads at the age of 11. "I don't remember either my father or my mother very vividly at that time, except that Dada used to take me for terribly long walks and talk to me about science, principally Darwin, and I liked him a great deal better than mother, of whose quick temper I was frightened." (from Portrait of a Marriage by Nigel Nicolson, 1973)

Search A radical regained At last, Vanessa Bell, the great artist - not just Vanessa Bell, the Bloomsbury Groupie. Overshadowed by the creative talents of friends and family, her work is only now receiving the acclaim it deserves Fiona MacCarthy Guardian Saturday October 23, 1999 So much has been written about Bloomsbury art it is easy to forget how little we have seen of it. The Tate's huge winter exhibition is the first comprehensive showing of the paintings of Duncan Grant, Vanessa Bell and Roger Fry. Two things can safely be predicted: this will be a show of extraordinary richness, startling colour, wit and sharpness, confounding the critics who view Bloomsbury as frowsy; and it will bring about a true appreciation of the magisterial talents of Vanessa Bell. Why has Bell for so long been so profoundly underrated? All the usual reasons: prejudice against women artists; denigration of domestic and decorative arts; Bell's long liaison with Duncan Grant, which led critics to dismiss her lazily as his less talented appendage; her own deep-rooted habit of diffidence. Added to which she was Virginia Woolf's sister. This has not helped her reputation in a 20th-century culture that has valued literary brilliance way above achievement in the visual arts.

Extractions: I prefer this page in Swedish One of my favourite authors is Virginia Woolf . She lived an interesting life and wrote fascinating books. I strongly recommend her books and books about her, like Quentin Bell's "Virginia Woolf". Orlando , To the Lighthouse, Mrs Dalloway, Flush, The Waves and Between the Acts are some of my favourites. Her book " The Voyage Out " is available on Internet. Virginia was troubled by repeated mental problems, and had to be put under guard several times. Among other things she wrote about her struggle against insanity in "Moments of Being", and some of her thoughts are published in her diarys and letters. Having tried to commit suicide a number of times, she drowned herself in the river Ouse outside her house. Would you like to know more?
Similarities Between Virginia Woolf And Doris Lessing. By Lynda Scott.
Essay by Lynda Scott in Deep South.
http://www.otago.ac.nz/DeepSouth/vol3no2/scott.html

Extractions: lynda.scott@stonebow.otago.ac.nz Deep South v.3 n.2 (Winter 1997) Many critics such as Roberta Rubenstein, Magali Cornier Michael, and Claire Sprague, point out the numerous similarities which exist between Woolf and Lessing, and of course Lessing does deliberately invoke Woolf in The Golden Notebook by naming her woman artist Anna Wulf. In this paper, however, I will focus on what I consider to be the strongest and most interesting common point of reference between the two. This is their common distrust of, yet fascination with, the workings of memory, as well as the construction of a personal sense of selfhood, one which develops from an amalgam of 'fact' and 'fiction,' 'actuality' and a sense of a personal 'truth.' Both writers, I believe, use their 'self-representational' or 'autobiographical' texts as the therapeutic means of 'Self'-discovery, to exorcise past unpleasantness, to 'fix' the past, and to create a significant personal present and a sense of 'truth.' I shall discuss first the ways in which both Woolf and Lessing juxtapose 'fact' with 'fiction' in order to create a meaningful sense of 'Self.' Alongside this discussion I shall examine some of the implications of the creation of 'fictive selves' through self-representational writing for Woolf and Lessing. My approach, which concentrates on the unreliability of memory as Woolf and Lessing perceived it, necessarily involves a consideration of historiographic metafiction.

http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/malcolmi/SUMMARY.HTM

Extractions: This large site deals with Virginia Woolf's health and personality. It gives detailed descriptions of both her major breakdowns and minor illnesses, her suicide, her personality, and her sexual and family history. Her psychiatrists and their textbooks are described; there is a review of research on the relationship between creativity and psychiatric disorder; and an analysis of her literary output in relation to her health. There are links, references and a bibliography, and a brief recording of her voice. Start with the general introduction , then return to this summary and site-guide. A successful suicide cannot be gainsaid, but does not of itself furnish proof of mental illness. In the case of Virginia Woolf, the accounts available of her last months, together with her suicide notes, would convince most psychiatrists, coroners, and their juries that she was suffering from a severe depressive illness. She not only said that she was depressed, but that she was going 'mad' again, and beginning to hear voices. She could not concentrate, and believed she could not read or write. She was hopeless and self-critical, and to the end maintained that her suicide was justified and that she would not recover. Her suicide was planned and determined, and despite a possible failed attempt a week earlier cannot be seen as an impulsive gesture that went wrong. When she wrote at the end of her life that she was going mad 'again', she spoke the truth and from lengthy experience. She had her

Extractions: Stephen Daldry The Hours Interviewed by Anwar Brett Stephen Daldry made his name as a stage director with the Royal Court Theatre before branching out into cinema. His debut movie, " Billy Elliot ", was nominated for three Academy Awards and 12 BAFTAs, winning Best Film at the British film awards. With his second feature, "The Hours", Daldry's dream of Oscar glory might just come to pass... Was it very difficult finding the right project with which to follow the success of "Billy Elliot"? Well, I was reading a lot of screenplays at the time, and the great thing about this script was that it didn't seem like any other film. And the thing I loved about Michael Cunningham's book, which David Hare's script is based upon, is that it described so brilliantly the difficult choices that we make in order to make our lives possible, and the moments of joy we must grab when they happen.

http://www.booksfactory.com/writers/woolf.htm

Extractions: Life and Works: Marcel Proust and Irish writer James Joyce , among others, Woolf strove to create a literary form that would convey inner life. Mrs. Dalloway (1925) occurs within the consciousness of several people during the course of one day, whereas Orlando (1928) traces the history of a single character who reappears over several centuries. Woolf was also interested in defining qualities specific to the female mind. She saw female sensibility as intuitive, close to the core of things, and thus able to liberate the masculine intellect from what she viewed as its enslavement to abstract concepts. Virginia was the third of the four children of the marriage. She was a nervous and delicate child, and, with her sister, was educated at home, mainly by her parents. Woolf's youth was shadowed by series of emotional shocks - her half-brother Gerald Duckworth sexually abused her and her mother died when she was in her early teens. Stella Duckworth, her half sister, took her mother's place, but died a scant two years later. Leslie Stephen, her father, suffered a slow death from cancer.

Extractions: Virginia Woolf Essayist, novelist, critic, short story writer, diarist, and biographer One of the most prominent literary figures of the twentieth century, Woolf is chiefly renowned as an innovative novelist, and in particular for her contribution to the development of the stream-of-consciousness narrative technique. Her novels are noted for their subjective exploration of character and theme and their poetic prose, while her essays are commended for their perceptive observations on nearly the entire range of English literature, as well as many social and political concerns of the early twentieth century.

Thus read the ad copy for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf , which in 1966 went farther than any previous big-studio film in its use of profanity and sexual implication. George ( Richard Burton ) is an alcoholic college professor; Martha (Oscar-winner Elizabeth Taylor ) is his virago of a wife. George and Martha know just how to push each other's buttons, with George having a special advantage: he need only mention the couple's son to send Martha into orbit. This evening, the couple's guests are Nick ( George Segal ), a junior professor, and Honey (

Extractions: What do Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, stand-up writing desks, and the Cosmic Baseball League have in common? Links with Virginia Woolf on the web. Just one more confirmation of the fact that Virginia Woolf is everywhere. This assertion is not new for me; it's the direct outgrowth of the materials I accumulated while writing my book on the construction of Virginia Woolf as cultural icon. But it took on a deeper resonance when I turned my attention to Virginia Woolf's multiple appearances in the place where icons have a whole other meaning: the worldwide web. The Virginia Woolf I began looking for on the web, Virginia Woolf icon, has, I knew, a life independent of the writer or her works; she also has a long history of disrupting boundaries. Multi-faceted, contradictory, incessantly mobile, she can be evoked to support or attack any number of disparate cultural positions; seemingly there wherever one looks, she endorses in true celebrity style whatever intellectual or material product we are being asked to consume.

Search My life in writing Driving Mrs Dalloway Michael Cunningham tells Nicholas Wroe about his Pulitzer surprise The Hours by Michael Cunningham is published by Fourth Estate at £6.99. Buy it from BOL Guardian Saturday November 13, 1999 When Michael Cunningham completed his fourth novel, The Hours, he had "no doubt whatsoever", that it would sell a few hundred copies at most. "It was to be my artistic book", he explains. "The plan was to try and make it up with the next book which would be the best-seller". But the plan had to be put on hold earlier this year when The Hours was shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize, and was ripped up altogether when, to Cunningham's astonishment, he was awarded the prize in April. It was a remarkable change of fortune for the 47-year-old New York-based author whose previous novels have been set at the messy junction where gay life meets family life in America. The Pulitzer is specifically given to a book that reflects the "quintessential American experience"; Cunningham had increasingly been painted as a populist gay writer.
