弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫 (Virginia Woolf,1882.1.25-1941.3.28) 是一位英国女作家和女权主义者。在两次世界大战期间,伍尔夫是伦敦文学界的一个象征。出生于伦敦的伍尔夫是在家中接受教育的,在结婚以前,她的名字是艾德琳·弗吉尼亚·斯蒂芬(Adeline Virginia Stephen)。在1895年,她的母亲去世之后,她也遭遇了第一次的精神崩溃。后来她在自传《片刻的存在》(Momens of Being)中道出她和姐姐瓦内萨·贝尔(Vanessa Bell)曾遭受其后母儿子(无血缘关系)乔治和杰瑞德·杜克沃斯(Gerald Duckworth)的性侵犯。在1904年她父亲莱斯利·斯蒂芬爵士(Sir Leslie Stephen,编辑和文学批评家)去世之后,她和瓦内萨迁居到了布卢姆斯伯里(BloomsBury)。
她在1905年开始以写作作为职业。刚开始是为《泰晤士报文学增刊》写作。在1912年她和雷纳德·伍尔夫结婚,她丈夫是一位公务员、政治理论家。她的第一部小说《The Voyage Out》在1915年出版。
普遍认为伍尔夫是引导现代主义潮流的先锋;她被认为是二十世纪最伟大的小说家之一和同时也是现代主义者。她大大地革新了英语语言。她在小说中尝试意识流的写作方法,试图去描绘在人们心底里的潜意识。有人在一篇评论里讲到她将英语“朝着光明的方向推进了一小步”。她在文学上的成就和创造性至今仍然产生很大的影响。
Heralded as Virginia Woolf's greatest novel, this is a vivid portrait of a single day in a woman's life. When we meet her, Mrs. Clarissa Dalloway is preoccupied with the last-minute details of party preparation while in her mind she is something much more than a perfect society hostess. As she readies her house, she is flooded with remembrances of faraway times. And, met with the realities of the present, Clarissa reexamines the choices that brought her there, hesitantly looking ahead to the unfamiliar work of growing old. "Mrs. Dalloway was the first novel to split the atom. If the novel before Mrs. Dalloway aspired to immensities of scope and scale, to heroic journeys across vast landscapes, with Mrs. Dalloway Virginia Woolf insisted that it could also locate the enormous within the everyday; that a life of errands and party-giving was every bit as viable a subject as any life lived anywhere; and that should any human act in any novel seem unimportant, it has merely been inadequately observed. The novel as an art form has not been the same since. "Mrs. Dalloway also contains some of the most beautiful, complex, incisive and idiosyncratic sentences ever written in English, and that alone would be reason enough to read it. It is one of the most moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century." --Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours
苏珊•斯奎尔(Susan Squier)曾经说过“无论伍尔夫把伦敦当作‘这个世界上最为美丽’或者‘最为邪恶’的地方,伦敦对于伍尔夫来说是一座她用尽毕生的经历来观察却又经常充满着矛盾情感的城市。” 伍尔夫从1882年出生在伦敦,幼年在伦敦海德公园附近的肯辛顿完成了她的启蒙教...
评分看完Virginia Woolf的Mrs Dalloway已经有一段时间;书是从头到尾没有分章节,而且又是几乎纯意识流,读起来颇为吃力,于是读完之后困惑之下又多读了两遍。但是知道听了Avril Lavigne的新歌Here’s to never growing up之后,才突然心有所感,才想起来再回来写一点东西。用如此...
