Choice Outstanding Academic Title In this second volume of her acclaimed study of Virginia Woolf s diaries, Barbara Lounsberry traces the English writers life through the thirteen diaries she kept from 1918 to 1929--what is often considered Woolfs modernist golden age. During these interwar years, Woolf penned many of her most famous works, including Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, Orlando, and A Room of Ones Own. Lounsberry shows how Woolfs writing at this time was influenced by other diarists--Anton Chekhov, Katherine Mansfield, Jonathan Swift, and Stendhal among them--and how she continued to use her diaries as a way to experiment with form and as a practice ground for her evolving modernist style.Through close readings of Woolf s journaling style and an examination of the diaries she read, Lounsberry tracks Woolf s development as a writer and unearths new connections between her professional writing, personal writing, and the diaries she was reading at the time. Virginia Woolfs Modernist Path offers a new approach to Woolf s biography: her life as she marked it in her diary from ages 36 to 46.About the Author:Barbara Lounsberry is professor emerita of English at the University of Northern Iowa. She is the author of Becoming Virginia Woolf: Her Early Diaries and the Diaries She Read and The Art of Fact: Contemporary Artists of Nonfiction and is coeditor of Writing Creative Nonfiction: The Literature of Reality.
