[Vwoolf] "English prose of this quality is hard to rival"*

[Stuart N. Clarke]

Tai Shani says she wants “to imagine an alternative history which privileges sensation, experience, and interiority, undermining hegemonic conceptions of narrative history to propose these possible visions of post-patriarchal futures.  It is world-making within which patriarchal ideology is replaced within marginalized ideologies, such as intersectional and queer feminism, to propose polyphonic, non-hierarchical perspectives on history, science and nature.”

*TLS, 10/1/20 p. 40


Has anyone noticed various books and articles on Woolf, which are heavy with this sort of prose, in which quotations from Woolf shine out with limpid clarity?  (Has anyone noticed books – often based on the author’s PhD – where the intro. is full of Continental philosophy and language to match, while the remainder of the book is quite reader-friendly?  And then there others that lure you in with a fairly welcoming intro., with perhaps just the odd reference to Virginia Woolf as a Derridean Deconstructive Writer – and then, phew!)
