Title: Virginia Woolf and the modern sublime
Description: "The book reads her modernist masterpieces in light of Woolf's revisions of romantic intertexts, such as Shelley's Prometheus Unbound and Triumph of Life and Coleridge theory of the imagination, among many others discussed. Woolf, the book demonstrates, transforms sublime experience, from the Kantian intra-psychic conflict of faculties by returning it to Longinian educational beginnings of imaginative self-formation"--
