VIRGINIA WOOLF & BLOOMSBURY

Melissa C. Wanamaker, Ph.D., LCSW-R

Thursdays, March 3 – 24, 2011
7:30 – 9 pm (4 sessions)
Fee: $100

Registration Deadline: February 25, 2010

Bloomsbury is a state of mind and Virginia Woolf is at the heart of it. This course will explore the creativity of post-World War I England, with specific attention to Woolf. Her art will be examined in light of her experience of early maternal loss, her love affairs, mental illnesses and suicide. We will also examine how her creativity reflected a kind of self-analysis.

Readings will include Mrs. Dalloway, her autobiographical Moments of Being (2nd edition), and the memoir Deceived with Kindness: A Bloomsbury Childhood by Woolf’s niece, Angelica Garnett. Please read “A Sketch of the Past” from Moments of Being, 2nd ed. before the first class.

Dr. Wanamaker is a staff psychotherapist at Queens Consultation Center, and a lecturer and author of psychoanalytic articles on early childhood loss and creativity. She is in private practice in Manhattan.
