This study is a groundbreaking investigation into the formative influence of music on Virginia Woolf's writing In this unique study Emma Sutton discusses all of Woolf's novels as well as selected essays and short fiction, offering detailed commentaries on Woolf's numerous allusions to classical repertoire and to composers including Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Wagner. Sutton explores Woolf's interest in the contested relationship between politics and music, placing her work in a matrix of ideas about music and national identity, class, anti-Semitism, pacifism, sexuality and gender. The study also considers the formal influence of music - from fugue to Romantic opera - on Woolf's prose and narrative techniques. The analysis of music's role in Woolf's aesthetics and fiction is contextualized in accounts of her musical education, activities as a listener, and friendships with musicians; and the study outlines the relationship between her 'musicalized' work and that of contemporaries including Joyce, Lawrence, Forster, Mansfield and Eliot. Emma Sutton is Senior Lecturer in English at the University of St Andrews. Her publications include Aubrey Beardsley and British Wagnerism in the 1890s (Oxford University Press, 2002), and Opera and the Novel (co-edited with Michael Downes, 2012). She is editing The Voyage Out for the Cambridge University Press edition of Woolf's work and has written widely on music and literature.
