Randi Saloman shows that it was by employing tools and methods drawn from the essay genre - such as fragmentation, stream-of-consciousness and dialogic engagement with the reader - that Woolf managed to leave behind the realism of the 19th-century novel. Saloman draws on key theorists of the essay such as T. W. Adorno and Georg Luk?cs, as well as on more recent scholars of 'essayism' (a term devised by Robert Musil to describe the hypothetical quality of the essay mode). She shows that the essay, as genre and mode, shaped Woolf's writing, and modern fiction more generally, in ways that have not yet been articulated. \u003cbr\u003eKey Features: \u003cbr\u003eIn-depth consideration of Virginia Woolf's shorter essaysRevisionary accounts of \/A Room of One's Own\/ (1929) and \/Three Guineas\/ (1938)New readings of Woolf's major and less well-known novels, including \/The Pargiters\/, her failed 'essay-novel'Repositions the essay as a major modernist genre, responsible in large part for the creation of the modern (and especially the 'modernist') novel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Randi Saloman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/18\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.33h x 6.14w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780748694105","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42710661988489,"sku":"9780748694105","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_6ccabdee-dbb3-4b05-bf5c-b1a35a159ec5.jpg?v=1719541441","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/virginia-woolfs-essayism-9780748694105","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
