"Virginia Woolf's rich and imaginative use of language was partly a result of her keen interest in foreign literatures and languages - mainly Greek and French, but also Russian, German and Italian. As a translator she naturally addressed herself both to contemporary standards of translation within the university, but also to readers like herself. In Three Guineas she ranged herself among German scholars who used Antigone to critique European politics of the 1930s. Orlando outwits the censors with a strategy that focuses on Proust's untranslatable word. The Waves and The Years show her looking ahead to the problems of postcolonial society, where translation crosses borders. In this first in-depth study of Woolf and European languages and literatures, Emily Dalgarno opens up a rewarding new way of reading her prose."

"In Modernism, Narrative and Humanism, Paul Sheehan attempts to redefine modernist narrative for the twenty-first century. For Sheehan modernism presents a major form of critique of the fundamental presumptions of humanism. By pairing key modernist writers with philosophical critics of the humanist tradition, he shows how modernistssought to discover humanism’s inhuman potential.Heexamines the development of narrative during the modernist period and sets it against, among others, the nineteenth-century philosophicalwritings of Schopenhauer, Darwin and Nietzsche. Focusing on the major novels and poetics of Conrad, Lawrence,Woolf and Beckett, Sheehan investigates these writers’ mistrust of humanist orthodoxyand their consequent transformations and disfigurations of narrative order. He reveals the crucial link between the modernist novel’snarrative concerns and its philosophical orientation in a book that will be of compelling interest to scholars of modernism and literarytheory."
