Jane Goldman offers a revisionary, feminist reading of Woolf's work. Focusing on Woolf's engagement with the artistic theories of her time, Goldman analyzes Woolf's fascination with the Post-Impressionist exhibition of 1920 and the solar eclipse of 1927 by linking her response to a much wider literary and cultural context. Illustrated with color pictures, this book will appeal not only to scholars working on Woolf, but also to students of modernism, art history, and women's studies.

Reviews & endorsements
"Goldman's book provides another lens through which to view Woolf's complex relationship with the other artists, art forms, and feminist movements of her day. Like Woolf's multiple-point-of-view novels themselves, the efforts to articulate and illuminate her creative process engage in an ongoing dialogue to which Goldman's book has contributed the valuable element of `feminist prismatics'." Diane F. Gillespie, Modern Fiction Studies
