A Room of One's Own: And, Three GuineasOxford University Press, 1998 - Всего страниц: 433 A room of one's own was presented originally as two speeches to the Arts Society at Newham in 1928, and is remarkable for its distinctive tone, for Woolf ́s witty and deceptively casual style, and for her decision to largely eschew abstract arguments in favor of narrative, anecdote and the guidance of a strong, abiding first person narrator. She also, refreshingly, avoids doctrine and bombast, instead infusing her arguments with subtlety, curiosity and open-minded speculation. In addressing the question of women and fiction, the author explores the lack of equal opportunity for women by describibg a tour of Oxbridge, a mythical English university, and the obstacles to education a woman encounters there, concluding that "a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction". |
