[Vwoolf] Query - Antigone

[Linda Camarasana]

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.

Subject: [Vwoolf] Query - Antigone

 

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.?
