'The Passion of My Life' : Virginia Woolf and Her London
Original language description
This paper takes as its starting point six of Virginia Woolf's articles on London life, serialised in the Good Housekeeping magazine between December 1931 and December 1932, five of which were posthumously published as The London Scene (1975). Originallywritten for and published in this popular magazine concerned with domestic topics, these articles on various aspects of both public and private life in the 1930s London represent a departure in Woolf's usual choice of audience and style. While London features significantly in most of her writings, I argue that its image painted here is not simply as that of a place, but as a biographical subject akin to Woolf's other experiments in the genre, such as Orlando a fantastical human being who lives for several centuries and changes sex (Orlando: A Biography, 1928), or Flush ? Elizabeth Barrett Browning's cocker spaniel (Flush: A Biography, 1933).
