The HK class have been writing a commentary on Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway. This morning while listening to BBC Radio 4 over breakfast, I heard they are going to be broadcasting a dramatisation of her major work, A Room of One's Own. Interestingly, it was recorded during lockdown with actors and production team all in rooms of their own. It should be very good.
Virginia Woolf's funny, provoking and insightful feminist text on
female creativity dramatised for radio by Linda Marshall Griffiths.
Part of Electric Decade: classic titles that influenced and characterised the 1920's.
It is 1928, a woman is asked to talk of
women and writing. In the university town of 'Oxbridge' she is refused
entry to the gardens and library and discovers the poverty of the one
female college there. She searches the British Museum library for proof
that women even existed in history.
You will find the link below to click on and listen. It will be available shortly after broadcast tomorrow 31st May:
