Reading Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse Like a Writer

See Available Classes

Overview

Join Columbia University professor Edward Mendelson in person at 92NY as he discusses Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse. We’ll consider this work, not only as scholars, but foremost as writers. How can we read as a writer, for our own purposes? Do we begin with issues of structure, feeling, imagery, or meaning? Can we analyze this work in terms of literary technique – syntax, symbolism, rhyme? How does a contemporary writer relate to this work? This class will include time for audience questions as Mendelson considers how to read like a writer.
