{"product_id":"virginia-woolf-and-poetry-emily-kopley-9780198850861","title":"Virginia Woolf and Poetry","description":"Virginia Woolf's career was shaped by her impression of the conflict between poetry and the novel, a conflict she often figured as one between masculine and feminine, old and new, bound and free. In large part for feminist reasons, Woolf promoted the triumph of the novel over poetry, even as she adapted some of poetry's techniques for the novel in order to portray the inner life. Woolf considered poetry \u003cem\u003ethe\u003c\/em\u003e rival form to the novel. A monograph on Woolf's sense of genre rivalry thus offers a thorough reinterpretation of the motivations and aims of her canonical work. Drawing on unpublished archival material and little-known publications, the book combines biography, book history, formal analysis, genetic criticism, source study, and feminist literary history. Woolf's attitude towards poetry is framed within contexts of wide scholarly interest: the decline of the lyric poem, the rise of the novel, the gendered associations with these two genres, elegy in prose and verse, and the history of English Studies. \u003cem\u003eVirginia Woolf and Poetry \u003c\/em\u003emakes three important contributions. It clarifies a major prompt for Woolf's poetic prose. It exposes the genre rivalry that was creatively generative to many modernist writers. And it details how holding an ideology of a genre can shape literary debates and aesthetics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emily Kopley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198850867\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198850861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.52h x 6.42w x 1.17d","brand":"Emily Kopley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43942684885247,"sku":"9780198850861","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c375f74e-13c4-4597-ab9c-09d1b4d913f3.jpg?v=1681493762","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/virginia-woolf-and-poetry-emily-kopley-9780198850861","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
