Laura’s Virginia Woolf – a note

This essay charts the presence of Virginia Woolf in Laura's work, not only in Virginia Woolf (1997) but in 12 articles and every critical study she wrote, from Auto/biographical Discourses (1994) to the posthumously published Rhythmical Subjects: The Measures of the Modern (2023). Throughout this work cinema and psychoanalysis (both of which Woolf knew and studied intimately) are discourses used with great subtlety to explore the structural and imaginative shaping of the novels.
