This resource is a plan written by a second-year undergraduate at Durham University. It looks at the question: ‘The mind receives a myriad impressions – trivial, fantastic, evanescent, or engraved with the sharpness of steel. From all sides they come, an incessant shower of innumerable atoms; and as they fall, as they shape themselves into the life of Monday or Tuesday, the accent falls differently from of old’ (Virginia Woolf, ‘Modern Fiction’). To what extent, and in what ways, is Virginia Woolf interested in the ‘myriad impressions’ received by the human mind? This can be used as a starting point to research themes of objectivity, family life, femininity, and symbolism within Virginia Woolf’s various works.

This essay has been written by a second-year undergraduate student at Durham University and received a 2.1 / 1st classification.

This resource is a plan written by a second-year undergraduate at Durham University. It looks at the question: ‘At this moment I am casting about for an end. The problem is how to bring Lily and Mr Ramsey together and make a combination of interest at the end’ (Virginia Woolf). Consider the idea that Woolf’s major aesthetic ambition in To the Lighthouse is that of combining the evanescence of thought and feeling with narrative completion. This can be used as a starting point to research themes of artistry, objectivity, imagery and symbolism within Virginia Woolf’s various works.

This essay plan was created by a second-year English Literature undergraduate at Durham University.

This essay plan was created by a second-year English Literature undergraduate at Durham University. It looks at the question: ‘Whether an author self-identifies as male or female is what determines the author’s sex. The ways in which the author adopts styles, gestures, conventions, diction, and genres associated in a given culture with male writers or female writers add up to the masculinity or the femininity, the gender of the writing’ (Robyn Warhol). Assess the validity of this distinction with reference to ONE OR MORE literary works of your choice. This analyses Mansfield’s place within the Bloomsbury Group, Helene Cixous’ theory of ecriture feminine, feminism, and the Modernist era, and her short story, ‘Bliss’.
