33. Thomas De Quincey in the Essays of Virginia Woolf: 'Prose Poetry' and the Autobiographic Mode

Author

Covelo, Roxanne

Subjects
Literary criticism -- History, Writers -- Works -- Portrayals, Biographies, Literature/writing
Abstract

British author Thomas De Quincey makes brief but frequent appearances in Woolfs essays of literary criticism, in which she examines what she understands to be their shared aesthetic objectives in the areas of prose-style and (auto)biographic writing. Interestingly, although Woolf often frames these objectives in terms that may be called post- or even anti-Victorian, her approach to De Quincey's work is strongly mediated by the critical scholarship of her father, the Victorian critic and biographer Leslie Stephen, and his own essays on De Quincey published between 1869 and 1927. Keywords: Thomas De Quincey / Leslie Stephen / criticism / prose style / biography and autobiography, Despite Woolf's having written a total of three essays on De Quincey ('The English Mail-Coach' in 1906, 'Impassioned Prose' in 1926, and 'De Quincey's Autobiography' in 1932), her relationship to [...]
