This innovative volume employs theoretical tools from the field of
literary geography to explore Virginia Woolf’s writing and the ways
in which she constructs her human subjects. It follows the routes of
characters from The Voyage, Jacob’s Room, Mrs. Dalloway, To the
Lighthouse and more as they walk around London, demonstrating how
Woolf constructs the characters in her stories in a very politically
conscious way. As Larsson argues, none of Woolf’s characters are
able to walk just anywhere, at any time in history, or at any time of
the day. Time, place, gender, and class form the conditions of life
that the characters must accept or challenge. Featuring an array of
detailed maps, Walking Virginia Woolf’s London: An Investigation in
Literary Geography brings a fascinating new perspective to Virginia
Woolf’s work. It is essential reading for scholars of modernist
literature or geocriticism.
