Between the Acts

Autor Virginia Woolf
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 ian 1992
Woolf's last and most lyrical novel, a playful study on the merging of art and life 

WITH INTRODUCTIONS BY JACKIE KAY AND LISA JARDINE.

A village pageant is to take place at Pointz Hall, the country home of the Oliver family for time beyond memory. Written and directed by the energetic Miss La Trobe, the pageant will take in the history of England from the Middle Ages. The past blends with the present and art blends with life in a narrative full of invention, affection and lyricism. 

Between the Acts was Virginia Woolf's final novel, and this edition contains the original text that she was working on when she died.

Notă biografică

VIRGINIA WOOLF was born in London in 1882, the daughter of Sir Leslie Stephen, first editor of The Dictionary of National Biography. From 1915, when she published her first novel, The Voyage Out, Virginia Woolf maintained an astonishing output of fiction, literary criticism, essays and biography. In 1912 she married Leonard Woolf, and in 1917 they founded The Hogarth Press. Virginia Woolf suffered a series of mental breakdowns throughout her life, and on March 28, 1941 she committed suicide.

Recenzii

"Woolf was an innovator who redefined the novel and pointed the way towards its future possibilities." --Jeanette Winterson
"Virginia Woolf stands as the chief figure of modernism in England and must be included with Joyce and Proust in the realisation ofexperimental achievements that have completely broken with tradition." --New York Times

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
It is a variable early summer's day, and there is an unusual bustle in the grounds of Pointz Hall, a country house in a remote village in the very heart of England. The local community is all astir, intent on putting the finishing touches to preparations for the annual pageant, which is to be performed there that evening. Among the medley of attendees are Mr Oliver, the owner of the house, the flirtatious Mrs Manresa and her friend William Dodge, who is rumoured to be homosexual, the troubled married couple Giles and Isa, as well as the eccentric spinster Miss La Trobe, the author of the pageant - an ambitious journey through England's past and literature.

Highly symbolic, and dealing with many of the themes that were most dear to Virginia Woolf, such as the condition of the individual in the current of history, sexual ambiguity and the tension between life and art, Between the Acts was the author's final novel, offering a tantalizing glimpse of the direction her fiction might have taken.
