An analysis of the complex psychological relationship between Virginia Woolf and her father and how her response to his temperamental and demanding nature led to her experiments with narrative form. The importance of “Attachment Theory,” initiated by John Bowlby, forms a critical part of the discussion, as well as her troubling relationship with her siblings. The stages of Woolf’s assessment of her father linked to ideas of Victorian patriarchal society, inherited attitudes of “men of genius” and ways of working through such inhibitions are analyzed in relation to her discovery of new ways of writing. This was a psychological as well as aesthetic breakthrough marked by such texts as Jacob’s Room, Mrs. Dalloway and The Waves. The encounter with attachment, loss and partial recovery for her characters mirrors her own personal situation concerning her father at two crucial stages: (1) his grief over the death of his second wife, Julia Stephen and (2) his long illness and dictation to Woolf of his memoir entitled the Mausoleum Book just before his death in 1904. Working out a cure for her psychological issues largely initiated by her father led to the invention of narrative experiments that masked a series of adjustment disorders.
Abstract
An analysis of the complex psychological relationship between Virginia Woolf and her father and how her response to his temperamental and demanding nature led to her experiments with narrative form. The importance of “Attachment Theory,” initiated by John Bowlby, forms a critical part of the discussion, as well as her troubling relationship with her siblings. The stages of Woolf’s assessment of her father linked to ideas of Victorian patriarchal society, inherited attitudes of “men of genius” and ways of working through such inhibitions are analyzed in relation to her discovery of new ways of writing. This was a psychological as well as aesthetic breakthrough marked by such texts as Jacob’s Room, Mrs. Dalloway and The Waves. The encounter with attachment, loss and partial recovery for her characters mirrors her own personal situation concerning her father at two crucial stages: (1) his grief over the death of his second wife, Julia Stephen and (2) his long illness and dictation to Woolf of his memoir entitled the Mausoleum Book just before his death in 1904. Working out a cure for her psychological issues largely initiated by her father led to the invention of narrative experiments that masked a series of adjustment disorders.
