- Sinopsis
- The book is an extended essay by Virginia Woolf. First published on 24 October 1929, the essay was based on a series of lectures she delivered at Newnham College and Girton College, two women's colleges at Cambridge University in October 1928. While this extended essay in fact employs a fictional narrator and narrative to explore women both as writers of and characters in fiction, the manuscript for the delivery of the series of lectures, titled "Women and Fiction", and hence the essay, are considered non-fiction. The essay is generally seen as a feminist text, and is noted in its argument for both a literal and figural space for women writers within a literary tradition dominated by patriarchy. Virginia Woolf was one of the greatest authors of the twentieth century, transformed the art of fiction. The author of numerous novels and short stories, she was also an acknowledged master of the essay form, and an admired literary critic.
- Acerca de Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf nació en Londres, Inglaterra, en 1882, con el nombre Adeline Virginia Stephen. Su padre era sir Leslie Stephen, distinguido crítico e historiador; por esta razón, Woolf creció en un ambiente frecuentado por literatos, artistas e intelectuales. Después del fallecimiento de su padre, en 1905, se mudó con su hermana Vanessa (pintora) y sus dos hermanos al barrio londinense de Bloomsbury, que pasó a ser el centro de reunión de antiguos compañeros universitarios de su hermano mayor, entre los que figuraban intelectuales como el economista John Maynard Keynes y los filósofos Bertrand Russell y Ludwig Wittgenstein. De estos encuentros surgió la denominación “Grupo de Bloomsbury”, que designaría a este colectivo de intelectuales que se reunían periódicamente. En 1912, se casó con Leonard Woolf, economista y miembro del grupo, con quien fundó cinco años después la editorial Hogarth Press, que editó la obra de Woolf, así como también la de Katherine Mansfield, T. S. Eliot y Sigmund Freud. Después de varios períodos de depresión, Woolf se suicidó en Londres, en 1940.
- Acerca de Sabine Baring-Gould
Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924), a scholar, Reverend, and author, produced more than 1,240 publications during his lifetime! He is perhaps best known as a hymn writer (he wrote the hymns "Onward, Christian Soldiers" and "Now the Day is Over," among many others), but he definitely considered his crowning achievement to be his collections of folk songs from the townspeople of Cornwall and Devon. His studies of folklore and folk music actually lead to the creation of The Book of Were-Wolves (1865), the book where "The Werewolf of the North" was originally published. The Book of Were-Wolves remains an important study of lycanthropy even today.
