- Summary
-
- "This is a book about "Virginia Woolf": the face that sells more postcards than any other at Britain's National Portrait Gallery, the name that Edward Albee's play linked with fear, the cultural icon so rich in meanings that it has been used to market everything from the New York Review of Books to Bass Ale to the Communist Party in Rome. Brenda R. Silver uncovers and analyzes the extensive representations of Virginia Woolf that have circulated in Anglo-American culture for the past thirty-five years
- The proliferation of Virginia Woolfs in both high and popular culture, she argues, has transformed the writer into a "star" whose image and authority are persistently claimed or challenged in debates about art, politics, gender, the canon, class, feminism, and fashion."--Jacket
