Description
This annotated edition of the landmark inquiry into the women's role in society by one of the twentieth century's greatest thinkers, Viriginia Woolf's classic A Room of One's Own features an introduction by English and Women's Studies professor Susan Gubar, perfect for critical analysis in classrooms and beyond.“A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.”In A Room of One's Own, Virginia Woolf imagines that Shakespeare had a sister: a sister equal to Shakespeare in talent, equal in genius, but whose legacy is radically different. This imaginary woman never writes a word and dies by her own hand, her genius unexpressed. But if only she had found the means to create, urges Woolf, she would have reached the same heights as her immortal sibling. In this classic essay, Virginia Woolf takes on the establishment, using her gift for language to dissect the world around her and give a voice to those who have none.

Both of these authors write experimental, intimately psychological, and elegantly written character-driven stories that feature extended stream-of-conscious passages, multiple perspectives, complex (and often troubled) female characters, and ambiguous, intricately structured plots that encourage readers to actively sort out real and imaginary events. -- Derek Keyser
Virginia Woolf fans should appreciate Ian McEwan's focus on character development and his careful use of language. While Woolf's long sentences and winding stream of consciousness are more intricate than McEwan's style, both authors display a passion for words that allows them to depict the complexities and fragility of life in aptly chosen details. -- Krista Biggs
Renowned for their lyrical prose and mastery of stream of consciousness narration, Virginia Woolf and Clarice Lispector rank among the world giants of 20th-century modernist literature. Their novels and stories plumb the depths of thought, emotion, and memory, and are particularly known for their complex depictions of women's lives. -- Michael Shumate
Both authors write witty, moving literary fiction that explores the lives of unconventional characters with a stream-of-consciousness writing style. Woolf also writes nonfiction; Austin primarily writes fiction and poetry. -- CJ Connor
Virginia Woolf and Claire Louise-Bennett write unconventional character-driven novels that are deeply invested in their protagonists' interior lives, which are often brought to life in reflective, lyrical passages that luxuriate in complex syntax and the mind's associative logic. -- Basia Wilson
These authors write experimental, densely written, and intimately psychological fiction that employ fractured and unconventional narratives, multiple perspectives, complex characterization, ambiguous shifts between voices, and extended stream-of-consciousness passages in order to encourage readers to reflect on their lives. -- Derek Keyser
These authors' works have the appeal factors stylistically complex and stream of consciousness, and they have the genres "psychological fiction" and "mainstream fiction"; and the subjects "middle-aged women," "alienation," and "mothers."
