Empire Writing and Women's Narratives: a Study of Virginia Woolf
by Chen Yan
About This Novel
Virginia Woolf is an important writer in the post-Victorian period in Britain. Critics have continued to study her since her lifetime, shifting from the earliest analysis of modernist formal techniques to political and cultural context criticism. This book examines the transformation of imperial culture and the development model of women in the post-Victorian period, combined with Woolf's political thought, and uses relevant theories such as plot structure, characterization, and implicit processes in narratology to analyze Woolf's narrative duality. It explores how she uses the interaction between patriarchal ideology and imperial ruling culture to achieve the identity of an "empire daughter" who criticizes, transforms the visible empire, and constructs the invisible empire through the imitation, softening, and selective identification of patriarchy.
