This collection of essays, edited by Woolf scholar Merry Pawlowski, brings together a serious consideration of Virginia Woolf’s writing within the political context of fascism. This work probes Woolf’s fiction and non-fiction from Mrs. Dalloway (1927) to Between the Acts (1941), for her responses not only to the growing menaces of dictators abroad, but also to mounting evidence of fascist ideology at home in England. The essays present a portrait of Woolf as a woman writer who was politically engaged, and actively protesting against a worldview which aggressively targeted women for oppression.
