Description
Summary:In 1921, Virginia Woolf publishes a collection of short stories entitled Monday or Tuesday which comprised different impressions of the everyday life, or the life of Monday or Tuesday. "Monday or Tuesday", the story which gives title to the collection seems to mark a borderline as far as technical experimentation is concerned as well as a point of inflection in Woolfs literary career. The story is the literary reflection ofWoolfs concems with literature, explicitly posed in her essay "Modern Fiction" (1919): at this point, Woolf started to experiment with the fragmentation of the subject by means of achieving different perspectives offered from a multiplicity of angles and filtered through voice and vision, through language and imagery, through words, elements which convey beauty in themselves
