The Madness and Marriage of Virginia Woolf

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Looks at how Virginia Woolf, as well as her husband Leonard, used the concept of madness and the profession of psychiatry to manage and manipulate their own and each other's lives. The author interprets Virginia Woolf's life and work as expressions of her character, and her character as the "product" of her free will.
