Description
Levenback (George Washington U.) examines Woolf's war consciousness and looks at how her sensitivity to representations of war in the popular press and authorized histories affected the development of characters in her fiction, nonfiction, and personal writings. Levenback's readings of Mrs. Dalloway , To the Lighthouse , and The Years are convincing in securing Woolf's position as a war novelist and thinker whose insights and writings anticipate current progressive theories on war social effects.
