Descripción de contraportada
'No previous book has attempted an overview of the significance of the arts to Woolf. Hence the need for this all encompassing endeavour. Its breadth of interest catches many topics. This is a richly variegated assortment of essays. It will, for a long time, remain a most useful compendium.' Frances Spalding, art historian, critic and biographer 'The Companion gathers a stellar group of scholars to exemplify the range and depth of Woolf's engagement with the arts. This remarkable collection shows that Woolf stands at the heart of the dynamism and innovations of twentieth-century aesthetics. It will be a rich and provocative resource for anyone with an interest in modern culture.' Mark Hussey, Editor, Woolf Studies Annual The Edinburgh Companion to Virginia Woolf and the Arts Edited by Maggie Humm The Edinburgh Companion to Virginia Woolf and the Arts is the most authoritative and up-to-date guide to Virginia Woolf's artistic influences and associations. In original, extensive and newly researched chapters by internationally recognised authors, the Companion explores Woolf's ideas about creativity and the nature of art in the context of the recent 'turn to the visual' in modernist studies with its focus on visual technologies and the significance of material production. The in-depth chapters place Woolf's work in relation to the most influential aesthetic theories and artistic practices, including Bloomsbury aesthetics, art and race, Vanessa Bell and painting, art galleries, theatre, music, dance, fashion, entertaining, garden and book design, broadcasting, film, and photography. No previous book concerned with Woolf and the arts has been so wide ranging or has paid such close attention to both public and domestic art forms. Illustrated with 16 colour as well as 39 black and white illustrations and with guides to further reading, the Companion will be an essential reference work for scholars, students and the general public.
