Your personal feelings to art are just that. Yours.
Especially something as sensitive as poetry or Woolfe's novels.
On the other hand, this article is about society's collective understanding of an artist or a class of artists (female).
It raises valid questions, which are orthogonal to yours or my reading of their art.
- thatjoeoverthr 5y agoThe author claims that society collectively feels something, that Woolf is defined by her death - based on what? - her gut feel that unspecified others feel in some way. Who? Maybe she has encountered it. I haven’t. She offers nothing to back up the claim, so I am happy to dismiss it with equal carelessness, because the claim is used to jump to the next claim, sexism, which is effectively an accusation of malice. It’s not malice if I noticed something noticeable.
