Virginia Woolf was both a stream-of-consciousness novelist and an accomplished prose essayist. Her origins as an intellectual aristocrat, her unique experience, her talent as a writer, and her extraordinary love and defense of reading and writing made Woolf both an "ordinary reader" and a literary critic. Woolf's literary criticism essays include not only critical articles about the writer's works, but also essays explaining literary concepts and related literary topics. This book takes the reading standpoint of an "ordinary reader" as an entry point, and provides an existential and poetic interpretation of Virginia Woolf and her literary criticism essays from four aspects: the growth of the "ordinary reader", the "ordinary reader" from different perspectives, the literary world of the "ordinary reader", and the sexual and emotional discourse in in-depth interpretation.
