Virginia Woolf as Memoirist
註釋"Hermione Lee referred to Virginia Woolf as 'an autobiographer who never published an autobiography', at the same time acknowledging Woolf's considerable body of self-writing. 'A Sketch of the Past' is said to be incomplete in that, unlike her husband, Woolf never completed a full-length volume of formal autobiography, yet it is notable for her insights and reflections not just about her life, past and present, but about the memoir form itself. Using 'A Sketch of the Past' as a primary text, along with the personal essays accompanying it in Moments of Being and relevant illustrations from Woolf's diaries, letters, essays, stories and novels, this absorbing monograph explores in depth Woolf's contribution to memoir as a unique genre, distinct from autobiography. This study recapitulates the form, from its history to Woolf's work and that of her contemporaries, to the legacy evident today." --
