"This is a book about "Virginia Woolf": the face that sells more postcards than any
other at Britain's National Portrait Gallery, the name that Edward Albee's play linked
with fear, the cultural icon so rich in meanings that it has been used to market everything
from the New York Review of Books to Bass Ale to the Communist Party in Rome. Brenda
R. Silver uncovers and analyzes the extensive representations of Virginia Woolf that
have circulated in Anglo-American culture for the past thirty-five years ; The proliferation
of Virginia Woolfs in both high and popular culture, she argues, has transformed the
writer into a "star" whose image and authority are persistently claimed or challenged
in debates about art, politics, gender, the canon, class, feminism, and fashion."--Jacket
