Virginia Woolf Icon by Brenda R. Silver
A cultural history of how a modernist writer became a contested icon, this study traces her afterlife across scholarship, feminism, journalism, film, marketing, and the web, showing how biographies, photographs, copyright disputes, and Bloomsbury branding generate rival versions of her—fragile genius, feminist foremother, queer precursor, and commercial logo. It reveals how gender, class, and sexuality shape the politics of literary reputation and argues that the instability of this icon profoundly influences how her texts are interpreted at the end of the twentieth century.
