The aim of this study is to examine Virginia Woolf’s contribution to the feminist question in her selected novels: Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927). The study shows how Mrs. Woolf employed her novels to show women the way to obtain meaning in life and realize their identities. Virginia Woolf established herself as a distinguished feminist woman writer in her treatment of women’s helpless situation. She unveiled the causes of women’s oppression and provided us with a comprehensive answer for the women’s question

The Diary of Virginia Woolf, Volume Five, 1936-1941, and: Virginia Woolf: A Centenary Perspective (review)

certainties expressed now and again throughout the present collection of essays. Although there is a variety of compelling pieces in the collection, from Godzich's essay on emergent literatures and Aldo Scaglione's treatment of education and social background in the Renaissance to Pauline Yu's contribution on Chinese poetry and Robert Magliola's discussion of sexuality and mystic desire, the volume comes together in terms of the unity of perspective or of discipline only when that unity is forced upon it. If this ongoing tension gives the lie to any notion of \"the comparative perspective,\" it also demonstrates the very real vitality that comparatist studies, at times almost despite themselves, continue both to embody and to generate; and in this sense, The Comparative Perspective on Literature is a genuinely stimulating volume.

Lawrence's Leadership Politics and the Turn against Women, and: The Consciousness of D. H. Lawrence: An Intellectual Biography (review)

Brian Stonehill's book on The Self-conscious Novel will be welcomed by students seeking to impose some order and definition on the increasingly impenetrable output of the postmodernists now flowing into the literary marketplace. With its sensible analysis and its ordered categories of the characteristics of \"self-conscious\" fiction, it provides a guide of sorts through the jungle. That it does so through a short but rigorous examination of the work of five preeminent novelistsÂ—James Joyce, Vladimir Nabokov, William Gaddis, Thomas Pynchon, and John BarthÂ— adds to the value of the undertaking. The critic concerns himself with fiction that seeks to draw attention to itself as fiction, with the nonmimetic work that demands to be encountered as such. There is a level on which the action is less important to the reader than his recognition that such action, and the characters involved in it, are there for the writer's own purposes. The author, in other words, plays a game in his literary work, seeking \"esthetic satisfaction\" rather than the verisimilitude which was the avowed aim of much of earlier fiction.
