Sue Roe

En las últimas décadas del siglo XIX, París fue testigo de las andanzas de un grupo de amigos que, hartos de ser rechazados por la crítica y los marchantes de arte, abrieron su Salón de Pintura y pasaron a la historia como los impresionistas. Manet, Cézanne, Monet, Pissarro, Berthe Morisot, Degas, Renoir, Sisley, Caillebotte…genios cuyas obras son más conocidas que sus vidas. Sue Roe, nos acerca esta biografía conjunta, cuya historia está perfectamente documentada y narra con detalle las vidas poco convencionales de estos artistas

Virginia Woolf is now hailed as one of the greatest, most innovative writers of our age. This landmark collection of essays by leading scholars in the field addresses the full range of her intellectual perspectives - literary, artistic, philosophical and political. The Cambridge Companion to Virginia Woolf provides original, new readings of all nine novels and fresh insight into Woolf's letters, diaries and essays allowing easy reference to individual themes and texts. The progress of Woolf's thinking is revealed from Bloomsbury aestheticism through her hatred of censorship, corruption and hierarchy to her concern with all aspects of modernism. The volume reflects the changing face of Woolf scholarship especially in the light of new feminist approaches, and explores the immense range of social and political issues behind her ongoing search for new narrative forms.
