i simply love everything woolf has written - this is good, very good ...
Yay for international booktrades. Excited to read this as well. Thanks for your generosity, Stephen. I'm currently have two bookrings here, but once I've finished those, this is next on my list.
Oh, this was VERY good. And totally still applies today, sometimes shockingly so. A few times this felt dated, but mostly it was a very sharp, entertaining, poignant, and important essay. I enjoyed the format of both lectures quite a lot. The first was brilliant, following the day of one woman thinking about the issues of women and literature, and seeing that woman encounter all types of barriers in her everyday living. The second provided more of the "meat and potatoes" (the heart and facts) of the problems faced by women who wish to participate in literature. The fictionalized story of Shakespeare's sister was very powerful.
I'll definitely be thinking about this for awhile. Thanks for the trade.
