[Vwoolf] Woolf/de Beauvoir

[Helen Southworth]

Hi Alice and All,


Please also see Joshua Kotin's wonderful Princeton-based Shakespeare and Co. digital project for de Beauvoir's member library card (of 1937-1940) which includes The Years!
https://shakespeareandco.princeton.edu/members/beauvoir-simone-de/cards/8fe6f441-b5e8-4bca-b3a3-d2c006ae3bed/

Also for more on Woolf and de Beauvoir: Pierre Eric Villeneuve's chapter in Caws and Luckhurst's The Reception of VW in Europe and my own on the French reception of Woolf in The Intersecting Realities and Fictions of VW and Colette.

And:
Humm, M. 2007. Simone de Beauvoir, Virginia Woolf and the Maternal. in: Giorgio, A and Waters, J (ed.) Women's Writing in Western Europe: Gender, Generation and Legacy Cambridge Scholars Press. pp. 170-185

Best,
Helen

Dear Alice,
You might also consult Deirdre Bair’s biography of Simone deBeauvoir (1990).

According to the interview with de Beauvoir in the Spring/Summer 1965 Paris Review (Issue #34), she had a high regard for A Room of One’s Own, also read Orlando and Mts. Dalloway, didn’t care for The Waves, and found the diaries “fascinating, but too foreign” and too “literary.” She was “very, very fond of her book on Elizabeth Barrett Browning.” Woolf “one of the women writers who ... interested her most.” She read her work in English.

 Dear Woolfians,

I was having lunch with a colleague in political science last week who's writing a book on political ethics which will include a chapter on Woolf.  She asked me if I knew whether or not Simone de Beauvoir read Woolf or referenced her directly, and my first thought was ‘I’ve read the answer to that on the Woolf lists’!  But I didn’t want to pass off any half remembered knowledge without reaching out to the community and getting my facts right.  If anyone could help me out, that’d be wonderful. Also, of course, if you know of scholarship putting the two in dialogue.

Thanks
Alice
