[Vwoolf] Query - Antigone

[Bryony Randall]

Dear Steve,

Antigone is also mentioned in an early short story; untitled, and unpublished in Woolf's lifetime, but published under the title 'A Dialogue Upon Mount Pentelicus' in The Complete Shorter Fiction  ed. Susan Dick (2nd edn 1989).

Best wishes,

Bryony

Steve --

Woof refers to Antigone in A Room of One’s Own and Three Guineas, and both Sophocles’ tragedy and the idea of a woman buried alive/sacrificing for her brothers figures prominently in her novel The Years.

I am taking a course on Greek Tragedy, revisiting plays I read in college 40+  years ago,  re-grounding myself in the classical world with shall we say a matured perspective.

I read VW's  ON NOT KNOWING  GREEK but seem to remember (maybe I am wrong) that elsewhere she talked  about ANTIGONE.   .

Can anyone point me to that discussion if it indeed exists.?
