[Vwoolf] Dalloway criticism

[Elisa Sparks]

Here's a link to my pretty updated, partially annotated biblio of Dalloway criticism.  It is more practical than theoretical; by which I mean that the theoretical essays I have included are ones that IMHO actually shed some light on Woolf. http://brittomart.net/WoolfSem/dallowaycrit.html


And here's the list of readings for Dalloway day in my grad seminar on Woolf and Space/Place Theory:

·    Scott, Intro to Hussey ed. of MD;

·    Goldman, 53-8.

·    Review Snaith and Whitworth Intro—section on MD.

·       DeCerteau, “Railway Navigation and Incarceration" and "Spatial Stories"
·      Benjamin, Walter. “The Painter of Modern Life”

.


·       Shiach, Morag “Modernism, the City and the "Domestic Interior" Home cultures 2.3 ( 2005): 251-67.

·    Wood, Andelys; “Walking the Web in the Lost London of Mrs. Dalloway.” Mosaic: A Journal for the Interdisciplinary Study of Literature, 2003 June; 36 (2): 19-32.

Well, wonderful  writer he may well be, but Mr. Toibin seems a bit draconian for the classroom!  And Nabokov’s famous directives on how his novels had to be read also are poor models for pedagogy (except in the 19th century perhaps…).  Of course, in my own classes I ban the use of ‘relatable’ …. ;)

Interviewed on BBC Radio 3 as special guest recently, the Irish novelist Colm Toibin said that as a golden rule in his work teaching literature as  Professor of Humanities at Columbia University, he FORBIDS any mention of literary theory, and even bans the use of terms such as ‘discourse’ and ‘textuality’.

Instead, participants in his seminars and tutorials are forced to discuss only the specific details, the characters, events, and prose style of the text under consideration.  That, he argued (echoing Vladimir Nabokov’s similar approach) is the only serious way to appreciate and understand a work of literature.

Think on !
