Bloomsbury Heritage Series 56 (London: Cecil Woolf, 2010) 60pp. Bloomsbury Heritage, a series of monograph pamphlets published by Cecil Woolf, nephew of Leonard and Virginia, offers a wide range of brief studies of Bloomsbury group. While general readers interested in Bloomsbury are likely to find essays approachable, they are written by scholars attuned to background of other Bloomsbury scholars. The real virtue of monographs is in brief format, which gives reader a quick introduction to a topic with which he or she is not familiar. This brevity, of course, is also a downside of series: one must acquire essays separately, and without an anthology or other collection, it may seem difficult to choose from among sixty titles and counting in series. Fortunately most can peruse titles to find something of interest, and for Woolfian, there is an abundance of lively approaches worth a look. The topics of essays in this series can be quite narrowly focused: Mark Hussey devotes his slender volume to question of rural preservation in a single novel, Between Acts. He proposes to explain context of, in his words, chance in novel that today's reader is likely to overlook or discount as a representation of idle conversation. The piece does an admirable job of connecting those few remarks in novel to questions of country and city in period, which in turn brings an unexpected dimension of text into relief. It is not a wholly new interpretation of novel, but a concise revision of its place in literature of English countryside. Paula Maggio's Reading Skies in Virginia Woolf also asks us to rethink ostensibly minor details in author's fiction. Maggio surveys Woolf's writing about from her diaries as well as novels Mrs. Dalloway, To Lighthouse, and Orlando; her central claim is that importance of Woolf's engagement with has been overlooked by scholars. She is most persuasive when she presents Woolf's observations on climate side-by-side, so we can witness abundance and range of Woolf's thinking about weather. As Maggio observes, Woolf recorded notes about on a daily basis and sought to employ as an active force in her fiction. A section drawn from diaries abounds with Woolf's fascinating variety of description, from yeasty frowsty August to cold, dark, inhuman, primeval weather (13). Maggio has evidently spent considerable time studying history of English preoccupation with weather, but her analysis of Woolf's actual language is at times unsatisfying. While discussing a passage from diary that describes black, pouring storms, Maggio seems to miss obviousness of image; she lauds creative connection of black ink and an octopus, as if it is an unusual pairing, going on to say that image connects human and natural realm by linking a manmade product, ink, with a creature of nature, octopus (14). A quick bit of research might have convinced author that nothing could be more natural than to associate an and black ink; too often, unfortunately, her analysis follows same pattern of hasty connections. This is a shame, because her choice of novels is perfect for topic, especially Orlando, in which Woolf defines entire eras of English literary history through (The Great Frost, cloud and gales that begin nineteenth century). …" @default.
