Description
Virginia Woolf Icon by Brenda R. Silver explores the surprising visibility of this cultural icon in both high and popular culture.
Silver analyzes how Virginia Woolf's image and authority have been claimed or challenged in debates about art, politics, anger, sexuality, gender, class, the canon, feminism, race, and fashion.
The book examines the recurring motifs that associate Virginia Woolf with fear, tracing her appearances on magazine covers and her roles in theater, film, and television to illustrate how she has become a site of conflicts about cultural boundaries and legitimacy.
