[Vwoolf] Woolf Google doodle

Thu Jan 25 12:54:55 EST 2018

Hi all,

Whether inspired by the Google doodle or by #MeToo or the Women's Marches, or Woolf own iconic status, there are also a slew of online articles on Woolf today just as there is that frenzy on Twitter.

Time specifically notes the doodle.

The illustration marks what would have been the author's 136th birthday

And so does CNET:

One of the 20th century's foremost authors, Woolf was a pioneer in the use of stream of conscious narrative approach.

The Guardian is peevish about the omission of Burns:

This Burns Night, consider celebrating Virginia Woolf instead<https://www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2018/jan/25/this-burns-night-consider-celebrating-virginia-woolf-instead>

Hold the haggis: there’s another writer’s birthday that deserves to be celebrated on 25 January

The Independent reflects on Woolf herself.

Today would have marked the 136th birthday of the great British modernist novelist Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), an occasion marked by Google's latest Doodle.

Woolf had the gut to question the society 'norms' - the norms which had already decided a girl's fate in her life.

And Quartz focuses on women and money and freedom:

It’s also a visual pun, as books have leaves.

Slàinte!

In addition to The Years, falling leaves  also recur in The Waves, especially in connection with Rhoda, e.g.:

"Rhoda, with whom I shared silence when the others spoke, she who hung back and turned aside when the herd assembled and galloped with orderly, sleek backs over the rich pastures, has gone now like the desert heat. When the sun blisters the roofs of the city I think of her; when the dry leaves patter to the ground; when the old men come with pointed sticks and pierce little bits of paper as we pierced her--

O western wind, when wilt thou blow,
That the small rain down can rain?"

I come down on the side of those of us who are delighted to see VW in a doodle that will be seen, even if for a few seconds, by millions of people.  As for the doodle itself, I like the color of the leaves and Virginia's blouse.  It's subtle and haunting as a shade.  Like Diana Swanson, I also thought about The Years, especially one introduction to an autumn when leaves were being violently blown about by heavy winds.
