Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
Författare till Mrs Dalloway
Om författaren
Virginia Woolf was born in London, England on January 25, 1882. She was the daughter of the prominent literary critic Leslie Stephen. Her early education was obtained at home through her parents and governesses. After death of her father in 1904, her family moved to Bloomsbury, where they formed visa mer the nucleus of the Bloomsbury Group, a circle of philosophers, writers, and artists. During her lifetime, she wrote both fiction and non-fiction works. Her novels included Jacob's Room, Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, Orlando, and Between the Acts. Her non-fiction books included The Common Reader, A Room of One's Own, Three Guineas, The Captain's Death Bed and Other Essays, and The Death of the Moth and Other Essays. Having had periods of depression throughout her life and fearing a final mental breakdown from which she might not recover, Woolf drowned herself on March 28, 1941 at the age of 59. Her husband published part of her farewell letter to deny that she had taken her life because she could not face the terrible times of war. (Bowker Author Biography) visa färre

En middag, en nattning, och sedan får åren gå. Några av gästerna avlider, huset får förfalla. Tio år efter dagen återvänder så vissa av dem. De två ännu ej vuxna barnen åker med Mr Ramsey mot fyren, Lily Briscoe påbörjar sin målning på nytt, hemsökt av minnet. På ytan kan man tro att inte mycket har hänt, men samtidigt har allt hänt (kriget, misslyckade äktenskap, långsamt uppror mot fadern).
Men är det en stor roman? Om man är lagd åt det hållet att man av princip ogillar författare som skapar en hop figurer och sedan ägnar all sin möda åt att låta dem tänka så komplicerade tankar om varandra som möjligt, måste svaret bli negativt. Om man av princip misstror sådant som handling och figurer som hellre handlar än filosoferar, blir svaret ett annat. Det kan knappast förnekas att mittpartiet, där tio år får gå utan att människor får inta scenen mer än tillfälligt, känns lite väl överarbetet. Övriga delar är närmast typexempel på sådant som den moderna romanen gärna kritiseras för: en hop tämligen otrevliga figurer som går omkring och irriteras lätt på varandra. Språket är hårt kontrollerat, vackert, men inte till den grad att det bär romanen.
Woolf protesterade själv mot tolkningar där fyren gjordes till en symbol; såvida man inte är benägen är ta hennes uttalande som att det den står för är intigheten (och det är inte en tolkning som enkelt ger sig av texten), så menade hon alltså det som att romanen inte bör läsas alltför allegoriskt. Även om den enkelt kan läsas biografiskt, så vore detta enbart att byta en allegori mot en annan; en tveksam vinst. Man kan naturligtvis även bara läsa den rätt upp och ner, men handlingen är lite för banal för att det skall vara givande. Närmast samlingen kommer man nog om man ser den som en redogörelse för en samling karaktärer (i ordets ursprungliga betydelse) och hur de stöter mot varandra, men de verkar egentligen lite för självmedvetna för att ens en sådan läsning skall kännas helt bra.
Vad det än är så är det en bok med många lager, en som nog kräver att man läser om och igen för att man skall upptäcka allt den vill säga. En gång kanske jag återvänder till den, och då kanske jag kommer fram till fyren. Kanske, måhända.… (mer)
