Virginia Woolf and Futurity (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781399538336)

How did Virginia Woolf conceive of the future, of that which is to come? Joshua Phillips argues that Woolf had a lifelong interest in questions of the future - of how people, things, objects and words endure into an unknown futurity, and in more practical questions of how to make the future a better place, free from the strictures of patriarchy and militarism. Virginia Woolf and Futurity demonstrates how these questions recur across Woolf's novels and short stories, from her earliest writings to the final drafts which she left unfinished at the end of her life, and how questions of futurity find multivalent and paradoxical forms throughout her writing.
