Virginia Woolf was a pioneering modernist author born in 1882 who experimented with stream-of-consciousness techniques in her novels and essays. In her influential 1929 essay A Room of One's Own, Woolf argues that women writers throughout history lacked the financial means and independence afforded to male writers, hindering their ability to develop and realize their full artistic potential. She speculates about how a hypothetical extremely gifted sister of Shakespeare named Judith may have been prevented from writing due to societal constraints facing women. The essay also examines how factors like poverty can impact an author's work and the relationship between anger over one's situation and the creative process.
D. H. Lawrence has displayed a bold originality of his genius and his consummate artistic finesse in Sons and Lovers. With his pioneering artistry, he deviated from the traditional patter of fiction and tried to break fresh grounds.

Willing suspension of disbelief is a term coined by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. It would mean suspend one's critical faculties and believe the unbelievable; sacrifice of realism and logic for the sake of judgement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

In 1912 she married Leonard Woolf, a civil servant and political theorist. 1915: first novel, The Voyage Out, was published. Her novels are considered revolutionary and pioneered literary modernism. Late 1920’s Began an affair with writer Vita Sackville-West
4. Bio – part 3 considered a leading modernist one of the greatest innovators in the English language. experimented with: stream-of-consciousness, underlying psychological /emotional motives of characters fractured narrative and chronology. Impact is still felt today.
5. Bio – part 4 1941: committed suicide, by drowning herself near her home in Rodmell. She filled her pockets with stones jumped into the Ouse River. left a suicide note: "I have a feeling I shall go mad. I cannot go on longer in these terrible times. I shan't recover this time. I hear voices and cannot concentrate on my work. I have fought against it but cannot fight any longer."
7. Literary Style “Examine for a moment an ordinary mind on an ordinary day. The mind receives a myriad impressions—trivial, fantastic, evanescent, or engraved with the sharpness of steel. . . . Let us record the atoms as they fall upon the mind in the order in which they fall, let us trace the pattern, however disconnected and incoherent in appearance, which each sight or incident scores upon the consciousness,” - Virginia Woolf in “Modern Fiction” .
9. Woolf’s writing attempts to capture the fragmented, spontaneous richness of life as perceived through the human mind. Conventional narrative form: could not do justice to the tumultuous randomness of modern existence, Woolf experimented with methods that would convey: momentary sensations discontinuities of human consciousness. The self: was not something circumscribed by objects and linear narratives, perceived only in flashes. By allowing the boundaries of the self to crumble, by leaving oneself open to “exceptional moments” or “sudden shocks” of insight, one may experience “a peculiar horror and a physical collapse” as the self dissolves, but also “ecstasy” and “rapture”.
11. Intro Form: Extended essay (developed from two lectures). Summary: Woolf reflects on the situation of women writers over the centuries, explores the effect of material conditions and patriarchal attitudes on their intellectual and imaginative work. Themes: Women writers and intellectuals have not had the money, independence, or material comforts necessary to create their best work; women have served as supportive props to the male ego rather than developing their own abilities anger toward men and oppressive social conditions have tarnished the writing of some women an androgynous mind is necessary to the creation of great literature.
12. Key Passages “It is strange what a difference a tail makes” “Why was one sex so prosperous and the other so poor? What effect has poverty on fiction?” “if Shakespeare had had an “extraordinarily gifted sister,” she would not have been able to realize her potential” “Anger had snatched my pencil while I dreamt. But what was anger doing there?” 000; “What is meant by ‘reality’?” “Some collaboration has to take place in the mind between the woman and the man before the act of creation can be accomplished,”.
13. Feminism A Room of One’s Own has become a feminist classic. it has generated debate among both feminist and nonfeminist scholars and critics still influential today because it addresses fundamental issues relating to women writers and the material and social conditions under which they produced (and perhaps still produce) their work.
14. Shakespeare’s Sister what would have happened if Shakespeare had had an “extraordinarily gifted sister” “Judith” Shakespeare, Woolf speculates, would never have been able to realize her potential, instead would have “found herself with child . . . and . . . killed herself one winter’s night”
15. Women’s writing and female poverty central issue: “Why was one sex so prosperous and the other so poor? What conditions are necessary for the creation of works of art?” Woolf develops this theme through various examples: very different meals men and women are served in their respective colleges. After a skimpy meal at a woman’s college, the narrator comments, “Indeed, conversation for a moment flagged. The human frame being what it is, heart, body and brain all mixed together, . . . a good dinner is of great importance to good talk. One cannot think well, love well, sleep well if one has not dined well”
16. Does this also hold true for the Working Classes? Woolf muses: “Yet genius of a sort must have existed among women as it must have existed among the working classes” Woolf has sometimes been criticized for being elitist: how does Woolf’s class position affects her views.? Are her theories about writing and poverty—for both men and women—valid today?
17. Charlotte Bronte controversial sectionso f the essay : described as possessing a type of “genius” that will never be “expressed whole and entire” because of the writer’s anger over women’s position in the world “Her books will be deformed and twisted. She will write in a rage where she should write calmly While this passage appears in chapter 4, the question of the relationship of anger to the creation of art is developed at length in chapter 2. Adopting the persona of a formerly poor woman who comes into some money, she explains, “by degrees fear and bitterness modified themselves into pity and toleration; and then in a year or two pity and toleration went, and the greatest release of all came, which is freedom to think of things in themselves” In Woolf’s view, the ability “to think of things in themselves” requires a sufficient extent of economic security something that Bronte did not have. many critics do not agree that indignation and rage marred Bronte’s work or that these topics are not suitable for literary contemplation.
