Scrapbooking the Present Day: The Three Guineas Scrapbooks
Scrapbooking the Present Day: The Three Guineas Scrapbooks
In three large scrapbooks now held in the University of Sussex Special Collections, Virginia Woolf amassed newspaper clippings, photographs, quotations, and other ephemera, testimonials of everyday life lived under a patriarchal capitalist system. These scrapbooks formed the basis of her 1938 polemic Three Guineas. What can we learn from these scrapbooks today, and how might they speak to our own late capitalist moment? This chapter draws on the …
Virginia Woolf and Capitalism
Refines our understanding of Virginia Woolf as a politically engaged writer Refines our understanding of Woolf as politically-engaged writer, by asking specific questions about her engagement with history, labour and economics Contributors mobilise a range of approaches to Woolf’s work, ranging from the archival, to the creative, to the pedagogical Takes in the full gamut of Woolf’s fiction and non-fiction oeuvre, with a focus on Woolf’s less-stu…
Karin Stephen: Bloomsbury's Rebel Psychoanalyst
This paper highlights the important contribution to psychoanalysis made by the psychoanalyst Karin Stephen. Following in the footsteps of other feminist biographers and historians of psychoanalysis, who have worked to bring ‘Freud’s women’ out of the shadows, this article not only focuses on Karin Stephen’s role within the internal political struggles of the British Psychoanalytical Society during the Second World War, but also shows how her psyc…
‘Notebook Literature’: Virginia Woolf and Marion Milner
In February 1933, Virginia Woolf found herself ‘quivering’, ‘itching’ with anticipation at her next writing project, ‘the sequel’ to A Room of One's Own, for which she had ‘collected enough powder to blow up St Pauls’.1 In three large notebooks compiled between 1931 and 1937, Woolf pasted newspaper clippings, letters, photographs, political pamphlets, handwritten and typewritten quotations, and other ephemera, testimonials of everyday life lived …
“Forebodings about fascism”: Marion Milner and Virginia Woolf
In A Life of One’s Own (1934) Marion Milner asked the apparently simple question: “What do I like?” By 1937, however, when Milner published An Experiment in Leisure, the question “What do I like?”, and the urgency of answering it, had shifted. Writing against the backdrop of a rising current of fascism across Europe, there was a new urgency for Milner, in 1937, in understanding the apparent ease with which, not only Hollywood movie-makers, but no…
‘Action […] real and effective’: Marion Milner and ‘Expressive Action’
In her 1938 essay, Three Guineas, Virginia Woolf exhorted women to turn their backs on the calls to action that resounded across Europe in the 1930s. Rejecting patriotic appeals to support military action, Woolf encouraged women to treat such summons with ‘indifference.’ And yet, this was by no means a form of political inaction. As Jessica Berman has argued, Woolf’s writing stages an attempt to intervene in, disrupt, and reinvent the fascist dis…

Catching butterflies”: Marion Milner and stream of consciousness writing
This article explores the use of stream of consciousness writing in the early work of the British psychoanalyst, life writer, and artist, Marion Milner. Focusing on Milner's 1934 book, A Life of One's Own (first published under the pen name Joanna Field), the first part of the article situates Milner's use of stream of consciousness writing alongside the work of her contemporaries Virginia Woolf, May Sinclair, and Dorothy Richardson. Building on …
The Haunted World below Our Waking Consciousness’: May Sinclair's Uncanny Modernism
Reading childishly? Learning to read modernism: Reading the Child Reader in Modernism and Psychoanalysis
This article focuses on portraits of childhood reading in writings by Sigmund Freud, Virginia Woolf and Marcel Proust. The figure of the child reader, I suggest, functions as one of what Charles Altieri has described as the ‘projected readers’ of modernism – the ‘ideal’ readers imagined in and constructed by modernist texts, as a way of modelling how we might respond imaginatively and psychologically to this difficult form of writing. But there i…
