First appearance of this essay "Aurora Leigh" 677-690 pp. In short Woolf writing as a Modernist in criticism of the work of Victorian writers begins by discussing the irony of how the Brownings Robert and Elizabeth Barrett are better known for their personal lives than their literary works. She notes that many people are familiar with their romantic story but have never read their poetry. She then moves on to critique the works of the Brownings. Woolf suggests that Robert Browning's work has lost its vigor and significance and his style is considered verbose. As for Elizabeth Barrett Browning Woolf states that her work is largely unread and unexamined with her style being seen as slipshod and her mind as confused and excessive. Woolf then focuses on "Aurora Leigh" describing it as a masterpiece in embryo. She suggests that the novel-poem's genius is still in a prenatal stage waiting for the final stroke of creative power to bring it into being. She also discusses the character Aurora's struggle with the expectations of her society. "If therefore we take 'Aurora Leigh' from the shelf and open it it is not so much in order to read it as to muse with kindly condescension over this token of bygone fashion: it is not a book but a dusty mantle with fringes and furbelows that our grandmothers actually wore; a cluster of wax fruit that they stood in a glass case on the drawing-room table among albums views of Jerusalem and handsome models of the Taj Mahal carved in alabaster." 678-679 p.

Gentle bumps to head and tail of spine. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is firm and sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: How did ancient scientific and knowledge-ordering writers make their work authoritative This book answers that question for a wide range of ancient disciplines from mathematics medicine architecture and agriculture through to law historiography and philosophy - focusing mainly but not exclusively on the literature of the Roman Empire. It draws attention to habits that these different fields had in common while also showing how individual texts and authors manipulated standard techniques of self-authorisation in distinctive ways. It stresses the importance of competitive and assertive styles of self-presentation and also examines some of the pressures that pulled in the opposite direction by looking at authors who chose to acknowledge the limitations of their own knowledge or resisted close identification with narrow versions of expert identity. A final chapter by Sir Geoffrey Lloyd offers a comparative account of scientific authority and expertise in ancient Chinese Indian and Mesopotamian culture.Publisher. 10" X 7". xi 473pp. Gentle bumps creasing and rubbing to covers corners and edges to unclipped dust jacket.
