초록

This paper examines, in Virginia Woolf’s Night and Day, the questions of women’s desire and work that the British Women's suffrage movement of the early twentieth century ignored. Published in 1919, Night and Day was often criticized for its traditional novelistic methods and its seemingly untroubled Edwardian background without any mention of the First World War. But as critics have recently explored, the novel deals with social and political issues. Night and Day is probably set in prewar London, during which the women’s movement centered around female suffrage turned from the previous comprehensive movement about women’s nature and status. But in the early twentieth century there were some other voices, such as The Freewoman, which focused on gender issues distinct from the goals of the suffrage movement. Night and Day focuses more on these other voices on matters such as women’s desire and work, revealing Katherine Hilbery’s oppressed and silenced desire behind the peaceful Edwardian era. Woolf expresses her own voice as a feminist in showing that representing “what is commonly thought small,” like women’s desire and work, is as important as representing “what is commonly thought big,” like war, in Night and Day.

Abstract

This paper examines, in Virginia Woolf’s Night and Day, the questions of women’s desire and work that the British Women's suffrage movement of the early twentieth century ignored. Published in 1919, Night and Day was often criticized for its traditional novelistic methods and its seemingly untroubled Edwardian background without any mention of the First World War. But as critics have recently explored, the novel deals with social and political issues. Night and Day is probably set in prewar London, during which the women’s movement centered around female suffrage turned from the previous comprehensive movement about women’s nature and status. But in the early twentieth century there were some other voices, such as The Freewoman, which focused on gender issues distinct from the goals of the suffrage movement. Night and Day focuses more on these other voices on matters such as women’s desire and work, revealing Katherine Hilbery’s oppressed and silenced desire behind the peaceful Edwardian era. Woolf expresses her own voice as a feminist in showing that representing “what is commonly thought small,” like women’s desire and work, is as important as representing “what is commonly thought big,” like war, in Night and Day.
