Blogging Woolf

“Woolf is one of the most important feminist theorists of the 20th century — in a class with Beauvoir and, really, probably no one else.

“Woolf is probably the greatest woman novelist writing in English in the 20th century. She is one of the great writers of English literature, period. Her position is really pretty unparalleled and I don’t see her stock dropping anytime soon.”

That is a quote from Anne Fernald of Fernham in response to the question, “What do you think Woolf’s place is in the history of literature?”  The query was posed in “Seven Questions on Virginia Woolf”on the LA Times blog Jacket Copy.

In my opinion, Fernald’s answer was dead-on. Read her answers to the other six.
