Descrição do Produto
Motherhood is a recurrent theme in Virginia Woolfs writing yet Woolf scholarship has often overlooked this dynamic subject. Exploring how Woolf engaged with themes of motherhood as a socially and politically motivated writer and a woman, this book grounds her work in the maternal discourses of her time. By reading Woolfs texts in dialogue with contemporary writing, socio-political events and medical and scientific advances, Virginia Woolf and Motherhood establishes the significance of maternity across Woolfs oeuvre and exposes how public and personal matters of motherhood informed the links she drew between maternity, femininity, self-worth and artistry. With novel analysis of Woolfs writing on war, eugenics, food and psychoanalysis, Charlotte Taylor Suppé demonstrates the substantive influence maternal discourses had on shaping Woolfs feminism, political beliefs and creative practices.
