>"An illiterate, underbred book [Ulysses] seems to me: the book of a self-taught working man, & we all know how distressing they are, how egotistic, insistent, raw, striking, & ultimately nauseating."

>"Then I have had a most shameful and distressing interview with poor dear Tom Eliot, who may be called dead to us all from this day forward. He has become an Anglo-Catholic, believes in God and immortality, and goes to church. I was really shocked. A corpse would seem to me more credible than he is. I mean, there's something obscene in a living person sitting by the fire and believing in God."

How could such a good writer have been such a pleb?

she's having a laugh

she was actually patrician af but was also jealous of Joyce and somewhat pretentious

She probably wanted attention, the rag does that to them

She's right on both counts desu

Why does Yea Forums seem more concerned with the petty and inconsequential opinions of writers about other writers than their actual works?

I doubt most of the commenters and the inevitable future commenters haven't even read Ulysses or anything by Woolf.

This is barely more stimulating than discussing a Twitter™ feud.

I wish there were more threads on Yea Forums actually discussing books. But I'm not one to talk, haven't actually finished a book in years.

>kills herself
Stupid bitch.

She was mentally ill

I'm already imagining a scat porn with these two

sounds based to me

>there's something obscene in a living person sitting by the fire and believing in God
Definitely, Yea Forums has autism

Woolf was so based.

>underbred
white supremacy ftw

she was a dyke. best female writer of all time, but still a bitch and a dyke

Better than dying from an ulcer

>I find men boasting about their sexual normalcy utterly ridiculous. If a man has always unconditionally refused intimacy with other males, does this make him a heterosexual or simply a coward?

Theists are always quoting that fucking line and chuckling. It's basically been reclaimed at this point, like queer for the fucking faggots.

She has written nothing of consequence so she should be remembered without consequence. What an actual cunt.

Just a sophisticated way of saying - i'm a dyke.

The italian word for gossip talk (pettegolezzo) is derived from the word for fart (peto). This is an apt metaphor, because each thing is both an unpleasant gesture and a necessary relief.

By being a rootless half-pajeet mongrel naturally fucked in the head.

Wait she was half indian? Is that what makes her look so weird?

If she took those opinions and put them together with a few handfuls of rocks and a river she'd really have something.

Hey Virginia, why the long face?

lol at that cope
She was mediocre at best. Just a rich girl with contacts that wrote about being rich and sad and boring. Tried too hard to out-proust Proust. Joyce is miles ahead of both, in both vision and it's correct delivery.

Dumb pleb. Read Mrs. Dalloway

insufferable incel

She's telling you that you're morally inferior unless you let another man put his dick in your orifices. This is why women shouldn't write.

Anybody else find this particular picture of Woolf a bit misleading? It's clearly from when she was very young and it's taken at arguably the most flattering angle for her head shape and face shape. is a more accurate depiction of what she actually looked like.

sorry you feel you have been deceived in your masturbatory fantasies

>How could such a good writer
>such a good writer
>good writer

You know how the brits are with hating the Irish

I have. It's pretentious garbage. Why she thought she could write about combat induced trauma is beyond me. The only genuine part of the book was Dalloway's latent lesbianism, which is boring and overplayed af.

nobody here actually reads

>"Wah why is no one making meaningful discussion" he discussed, meaningfully
Why do people complain about the lack of discussion on specific works in order to cover up the fact that they haven't read them either? Seems pretty pathetic desu

(((quote was made up)))

What did Virginia Woolf love? Not herself clearly, and few if any of her peers. She did not love her work nor the work of others, she did not love her country or her family? Was there any comfort of pleasure in her life? Why was she so overwhelmed with negativity and darkness?

She liked to watch.

Also both are funny.

She looks positively anglo to me, I mean look at

She loved her husband and her conversation group.

You seem to forget that India is England

Yes but the eternal Anglo isn't interbred with Indian, and a typical Anglo face doesn't comes from mingling with Indians.
