It was originally written for T.S. Eliot's magazine, which I believe was titled The New Criterion. I am not sure, but the essay was titled "On Being ill". It seemed interesting and insightful, and I am interested in reading more. Any suggestions? >>By Alison327 on being ill >>By delila How did she kill her self? >>By rimbaud She filled her pockets with stones and drowned herself. >>By Jennie The name of the book by Virginia Woolf (correct spelling of her name, by the way) that is portrayed in the upcoming movie, "The Hours" is "Mrs. Dalloway". >>By Lori Can u tell me about gender and society in Flush? >>By tiffany I think the name of the book katy is asking about was Mrs. Dalloway.... >>By MOJO mojo and Lori... the name of both the film and book is 'The Hours' inspired by 'Mrs. Dalloway' and Woolf's life. So there. >>By you're wrong Mrs. Woolf was married to Leonard Woolf, a critic and writer of economics and philosohphy. She killed herself by filling her pockets with stones and walking out into the Ouse River and drowned herself. It was said that she could not take the stress of having to live through another World War. The pain she felt from World War I can be noted in many of her works such as 'Mrs. Dalloway' and 'To The Lighthouse.' >>By Frosted For Katy: The film is called the Hours (starring Nicole Kidman, Merryl Streep, and Julianne Morris). It was written my Michael Cunningham! >>By dsl is this the virginia woolf of "who's afraid on virginia woolf..."? >>By la I have watched the preview of the movie a number of times and still can not make sense of it, is there a "Cliff Notes" version of the book that I could read so it will make sense when we see the movie? >>By Bill Is it true she was a lesbian, that was part of the reaosn she was depressed? >>By Bobby I havwn't saw the movie yet but it is so exciting to even wait for it. V.J >>By mssandiego1990@yahoo.com woolf never had children because doctors told her that her emotional breakdowns would not allow her to properly care for them >>By lye Movie is unfortunately so-so: Great performances at times, but poor Direction and worse Editing of the final cut. A real shame as the film-world needs more of this genre as opposed to the loud violent themes so typical of the 90s'...... >>By Eire Jusr saw the movie and like a good book it must be seen more than once to be appreciated. The acting is superb and the overlays and interconnections are numerous and intriguing. This in one of the DVD's that need to be added to any good library. >>By psc I have admired her work since college. As I have had bouts of mild depression, it saddens me to think about what she must have gone through. I loved "Mrs. Dalloway" which by the way was made into a film starring Vanessa Redgrave. I have not read Cunningham's book but I saw the movie last night and was extremely impressed. It is a must see over and over again. I am off to buy the book. >>By Fred I just saw the movie and am also intrigued. I want to read the book, "Mrs. Dalloway" now also and I'm anxious to learn more about Virginia. >>By BBox Fred, I thought Maggie Smith was Mrs. Dalloway? >>By Mommiedear i believe this is a great film. i was impressed with all the actors, especially the young ed harris. he could really emote. some people cant do this at 60 >>By mark smith I saw the movie last night and am very impressed. What a powerful movie about woman's emotions. The movie was very well done, with the overlays and how each story related to the other. This is a keeper! >>By lilgirl My wife & I saw the movie last night - Hours - it was amazing! The acting was superb-Nicole Kindman was breathtaking as Virginia Woolf. The score was great - this is what movie making is all about. I engourage everyone to see the film. Steve >>By steve My wife & I saw the movie last night - The Hours - it was amazing!

Steve >>By steve I saw the movie last night, not knowing at all what it was about. Nicole Kidman wa was superb! But it was the MOST depressing movie I've ever spent money to see. It was choppy, difficult to follow and not fun. Great acting but not worth the effort to make or see. >>By bigtimesnyder |
