Nóra Séllei. Why Are We Afraid of (Virginia) Wolf? Feminist Literary Views Here and Now

Summary/Abstract: This book is an important landmark of Nóra Séllei’s professional career. For several years Nóra Séllei has been progressing straight ahead on the path that she mapped out for herself as a feminist scholar, and her enterprise is indeed worthy of respect. She explored the possibilities offered by feminist literary criticism, writing three monographs (Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf: A Personal and Professional Bond, 1996; ‘The Middle-Class Woman Began to Write’: Essays on Novels by 19th-Century British Women Writers, 1999; ‘Mirror, Mirror on the Wall …’: Women Writers’ Autobiographies from the Early Twentieth Century, 2001), has edited two anthologies (The Junctures of Feminism – A Reader in Feminism and the (Post)modern, 2006; Woman as Subject, the Female Subject, 2007.), has translated Virginia Woolf, has organized gender-oriented interdisciplinary conferences, and she holds graduate and postgraduate courses on gender topics at the University of Debrecen. Everything considered, Hungarian (feminist) literary criticism owes a lot to her.
