9、his wifes diaries that she had fallen in love with a radical working man and committed suicide.,7/35,Virginia Woolf(1882-1941),英国,女作家,被认为是二十世纪当代主义与女性主义先锋之一。在两次世界大战期间,伍尔芙是,伦敦,文学界关键人物,她同时也是布卢姆茨伯里派(Bloomsbury Group)组员之一。其最著名小说包含戴洛维夫人(Mrs.Dalloway)、灯塔行(To the Lighthouse)、雅各房间(Jakobs Room)。,Cultural Note
10、s,8/35,出生于伦敦伍尔芙是在家中接收教育。结婚以前她名字是艾德琳弗吉尼亚斯蒂芬(Adeline Virginia Stephen)。1895年母亲逝世之后,她第一次精神瓦解。以后她在自传存在瞬间(Moments of Being)中道出她和姐姐瓦内萨贝尔(Vanessa Bell)曾遭受同母异父哥哥乔治和杰瑞德杜克沃斯(Gerald Duckworth)性侵犯。19她父亲莱斯利斯蒂芬爵士(Sir Leslie Stephen,著名编辑和文学批评家)逝世之后,她和瓦内萨迁居到了布卢姆斯伯里(Bloomsbury)。以后以她们和几位朋友为中心创建了布卢姆茨伯里派文人团体。她在19开始职业写作
11、生涯,刚开始是为泰晤士报文学增刊撰稿。,19和雷纳德伍尔夫(Leonard Woolf)结婚,丈夫是一位公务员、政治理论家。对于自己婚姻,弗吉尼亚伍尔夫曾大犯犹豫。她就像自己小说到灯塔去里莉丽,尽管认为爱情宛如壮丽火焰,但因为必须以焚弃个性“珍宝”为代价,所以视婚姻为“丧失自我身份灾难”。一个女人抱持这么消极看法,又是在三十岁,9/35,“高龄”上才开始构筑“二人空间”,,其困难是可想而知。然而事后证实,弗吉尼亚忧虑纯属多出,倒是她心理症结落下性恐惧和性冷淡,使婚姻生活从一开始就走上了歧路。伦纳德毕业于剑桥大学,饶有文才,深具眼力,与其说他观赏弗吉尼亚娴雅风度,毋宁说他倾慕弗吉尼亚超凡智慧。在
12、他眼里,弗吉尼亚是只可远观不可亵玩“智慧童贞女”,在她身上完全不粘附世俗肉欲色彩。应该说,起初,伦纳德心有不甘,他抱着幻想,认为自己能像王子唤醒睡美人那样唤醒弗吉尼亚体内性意识。几经努力,徒劳无功之后,他创作小说智慧童贞女,借用男主人公哈里大卫口吻训斥了冷血女人,认为“那些长着白皮肤和金色头发苍白女人是冰凉,同时也使人冰凉”,他这些心怀不忿说辞(近乎指桑骂槐)无疑对弗吉尼亚自尊组成了深深伤害。弗吉尼亚婚后“精神雪崩”给伦纳德适时地敲响了警钟,他决定从此认命,转而追求精神之爱这一更高远境界。他这么做,仅需一条理由“她是个天才”就足够了。弗吉尼亚感激之情也溢于言表,她明确地宣告伦纳德是自己生命中隐
13、藏关键,是她创造力源泉。1930年,弗吉尼亚告诉一位朋友,没有伦纳德,她可能早就开枪自杀了。弗吉尼亚能以多病之身取得非凡文学成就,伦纳德可谓居功至伟。,10/35,Wedding in the west,Until the middle of the 19th century,weddings in Western society were modest events that took place in homes.By 1900 formal weddings and their attendant rituals had become major events in middle-cla
