Approaching Woolf from musicology, literary criticism, and gender studies, the collection examines her musical background; music in her fiction and critical writings; and the importance of music in the Bloomsbury milieu and its role within the larger framework of Modernism. Making use of Woolf's diaries, letters, fiction, and the testimony of her contemporaries, these essays illuminate the rich and deeply musical nature of Woolf's works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface \/ Mihály Szegedy-Maszák\u003cbr\u003eList of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \/ Adriana Varga\u003cbr\u003ePart I: Music and Bloomsbury Culture\u003cbr\u003e1.
