Inhalt:

Flush (1933) is Virginia Woolf's mock-biography, recounting Elizabeth Barrett Browning's life through the sensibility of her cocker spaniel. Moving from Wimpole Street's sickroom to democratic Italy, the book fuses canine perception with social satire, biography, and modernist experiment. Its elegant, ironic prose scrutinizes class, gender, illness, urban squalor, and Victorian literary culture, while playfully questioning the authority of historical narration. Woolf, already a central modernist and member of the Bloomsbury circle, drew on Barrett Browning's letters and her own fascination with biography's limits. Having recently written Orlando and Roger Fry, she approached Flush as both a diversion and a formal challenge. Her experience of confinement, sensitivity to domestic power, and interest in women writers inform the book's humane, subtly subversive vision. This is an ideal work for readers who admire Woolf's brilliance but want a more mischievous entry point than her major novels. Compact, witty, and intellectually agile, Flush rewards lovers of literary biography, animal studies, feminist criticism, and modernist prose with a portrait as tender as it is incisive.
