‘I Mapped the Knitting-Ball’. Woolf versus Cunningham: Femininity and Androgyny in Literary Cartography

Summary/Abstract: In this article, I will analyze Michael Cunningham’s and Virginia Woolf’s masculine and/or feminine auctorial devices of building their novels (The Hours and Mrs. Dalloway), according to the feminine or masculine writing style. Thus I will attempt a comparative analysis of the two novels, from three different standpoints, all in accordance with the feminine and masculine auctorial devices applied in writing: the build-up and shape of the novels, the interweaving of (circular) narrative strands and finally, the symbolic shapes of the characters’ trajectories (literary cartography).
