Reviews

This major new contribution to Woolf and modernist studies combines brilliant close readings of the novels with a sophisticated and searching theoretical framework. It opens up questions of intimacy and interiority, ethics and affect, and principles of non-violence, in highly original and compelling ways. Developing a model of an ethics of intimacy and politicising Woolf's modernist writing of interiority, it affords new ways of understanding the place of ethics and aesthetics in the charged context of the interwar years. * Laura Marcus, Goldsmiths' Professor of English Literature, University of Oxford, UK *
