Can you think of any other important “buts” in women’s writing?

[@sheilakozmin9755]

Brilliant, as usual; thank you so much, Dr. Cox. I do have a book within me to write and I do have the time, money and space to write it. All that is missing is the confidence and the commitment. I believe I owe it to Virginia Woolfe to write my book without further procrastination.

[@DrOctaviaCox]

So much easier said than done! - But, exactly, confidence and commitment. And not beating yourself up for what you haven't done yet. Thank you. Octavia

[@DrOctaviaCox]

Do you agree with my analysis? Let me know what you think. I’d love to hear from you.

[@RaysDad]

Thank you, I understand A Room of One's Own more deeply now. My first exposure to Virginia Woolf was To the Lighthouse, which left me anxious to read more of her novels. But I couldn't stay engaged with either Orlando or The Waves. So I turned to her essays and maybe I've read them all. What a unique writer she was!

[@DrOctaviaCox]

I find Woolf's analysis of other writers so brilliant and insightful. She's wonderful at finding the nub, or crux, or heart of the matter, and pinpointing it so eloquently. I plan to publish a video soon on Woolf's analysis of the Brontës (well, of Charlotte's Jane Eyre and Emily's Wuthering Heights - sadly not Anne's novels), which I hope you will also find interesting. Thanks for watching my videos - it's much appreciated.

[@DrOctaviaCox]

And with regard to Orlando and The Waves, I think it helps (certainly it did for me) if you completely dispense with the idea of them as novels. I find that they don't offer me what I want from a 'novel'. So instead I think of them as literary experiments in which Woolf plays with the very notion of narrative and story-telling. I find that really helps me to engage with them. (One can read The Waves, for instance, as an attempt to convey the multiplicitous aspects of one person through six voices.)

[@rmarkread3750]

In Virginia Woolf's hand, those "buts" (and the addressing of a collective) pays the audience the supreme complement of including us in those whose intelligence and quickness of mind are equal to Virginia Woolf's own. Heady, high praise.

[@JohnJenkins-ib5wh]

Great thanks 👍

[@logingayn242]

Cool , Dr. , the explanation of the essay is exquisite and useful

[@saralundh9599]

you made my evening so much better. wonderful engaging video. keep it up 💖💖

[@Meg-ht9ke]

Thank you for the intense and rich analysis, Dr Cox!

[@chrisriddles9460]

Brilliant. Well done.

[@DrOctaviaCox]

Thank you.

[@angelacraw2907]

Thank you for this very informative lecture. I read and very much enjoyed the book and plan to re-read it soon with your thought in mind. As an aside do you know of any colleagues that have a youtube channel where they analyse the work of Proust?

[@sarahkwan3013]

Excellent analysis, thank you!

[@amherst88]

Wonderful as always, would love to hear you work through more of the great wisdom of this work (and if you've never heard it, I highly recommend listening to Claire Bloom's reading of about an hour's worth of the text) -- thank you as always for sharing your expertise ❤️

[@DrOctaviaCox]

Thanks for your message. Much appreciated. Is Claire Bloom's reading on KZbin? Octavia

[@amherst88]

I don't think so (& I think it's unfortunately out of print and hard to come by) -- I have a digital copy though, can probably send it via e-mail if you'd like :)

[@amherst88]

@@DrOctaviaCox also happy to send you a copy through the mail.

[@jadedavis822]

College course on KZbin ! How very cool☺️thank you ...new sub
