"night And Day", A Novel Written By Virginia Woolf

USD $ 4,99

Night and Day is a novel written by Virginia Woolf and first published in 1919. This novel represents an earlier stage in Woolf s writing career and is more traditional in terms of its narrative structure compared to her later, more experimental works. The story of Night and Day revolves around the lives of two central characters, Katherine Hilbery and Mary Datchet. Katherine is the granddaughter of a famous poet and is engaged to Ralph Denham, a poet and aspiring writer. Mary is a working-class woman who is involved in the suffrage movement and works as a secretary. The novel explores the contrasting lives and aspirations of these two women and their romantic entanglements. Woolf uses Night and Day to examine themes of love, marriage, women s roles in society, and the clash between traditional values and modernity. Unlike some of Woolf s later works, this novel follows a more conventional narrative style and is less experimental in its storytelling. While Night and Day may not be as well-known as some of Virginia Woolf s later and more groundbreaking works like Mrs. Dalloway or To the Lighthouse, it is still a significant contribution to early 20th-century literature and provides insight into the changing social and gender dynamics of the time.

Virginia Woolf

Autor

(Adeline Virginia Stephen) nació en Londres en 1882, hija del escritor Sir Leslie Stephen y Julia Prinsep Jackson. Sir Leslie estaba emparentado con William Thackeray, y frecuentaban su casa escritores como Henry James (cuya influencia en Virginia Woolf es notoria), Alfred Tennyson o Thomas Hardy.
Julia era de una belleza extraordinaria, por lo que fue modelo de los pintores prerrafelitas, entre ellos Edward Burne Jones. La muerte repentina de su madre, acontecida cuando Virginia sólo tenía 13 años, fue la causa de su primera depresión. A ella se sumaron otras a lo largo de su vida, además de padecer un trastorno bipolar. Una situación tal vez derivada de los abusos sexuales que al parecer padeció llevados a cabo por sus hermanastros.
Tras la muerte de su padre, Virginia se trasladó con su hermana Vanessa al barrio de Blooms­bury, donde frecuentó a los miembros del conocido grupo y a otros intelectuales: Lytton Stra­chey, Keynes, Wittgenstein, Bertrand Russell, Gerald Brenan, Dora Carrington y Leonard Woolf entre ellos. En 1912 se casó con Leonard Woolf, y con él fundó la famosa editorial Hogarth Press, en la que además de publicarse las obras de Virginia, aparecieron libros importantes de Sigmund Freud, T. S. Eliot o Katherine Mansfield. En 1922 Virginia conoció a Vita Sackville-West, con la que estableció una relación sentimental que duró varios años, sin que por ello se resintiera la que mantenía con Leonard. De hecho, Orlando, una de las mejores novelas de Virginia estaba dedicada a Vita.

El 28 de marzo de 1941 Virginia se suicidó. Llenó de piedras los bolsillos de su abrigo, y se sumergió en el río Ouse.
