Virginia Woolf’s only play was written as a comedy performed by and for friends, seemingly full of inside jokes, nevertheless quite entertaining and based on surprisingly accurate historical facts. The play is about Woolf’s great-aunt, Julia Cameron, photographer; and her highly intellectual friends, Alfred Tennyson, the poet, and G. F. Watts, the painter. She pokes fun at Tennyson’s morbid themes and long poems, and their symbolism, such as wings (off a turkey). There is a porpoise, a marmoset, and the Queen herself. Woolf’s friends must have had great fun. ( )
In another age this airy morsel would have been printed in a collection of minor works rather than launched under its own steam at seven dollars, amid solemn assertions that it ""reveals Virginia Woolf's great talent for comedy."" It is handsomely presented here in the complete texts of what are thought to be the 1923 and 1935 versions. Pertence à série publicada
Virginia Woolf's only play-a hilarious farce taken from the life of her great-aunt, Julia Margaret Cameron, the famous Victorian photographer. It was first performed at Vanessa Bell's London studio in 1935 as one of Bloomsbury's theatrical evenings and later, in New York, in a star-studded French production. Edited and with a Preface by Lucio P. Ruotolo; drawings by Edward Gorey. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
