Un lieu à soi rassemble une série de conférences sur le thème de la fiction et des femmes que Virginia Woolf prononça en 1928 à l'université de Cambridge. Ce vaste sujet a donné naissance à une tout autre question, celle du lieu et de l'argent, qui donne son titre à l'essai : «Une femme doit avoir de l'argent et un lieu à elle si elle veut écrire de la fiction.» À la manière d'un roman, et s'appuyant sur l'histoire littéraire, Virginia Woolf retrace ainsi le cheminement qui l'a conduite vers cette célèbre thèse, qui reste incontournable de nos jours.

Chef-d’œuvre de la littérature féministe, Un lieu à soi brille d'un nouvel éclat sous la plume de Marie Darrieussecq. Jouant de l'humour et de l'ironie de Virginia Woolf, cette traduction propose une remise en perspective essentielle de la question de l'écriture et des femmes au sein de la littérature contemporaine.

Work Description

A Room of One's Own is an extended essay by Virginia Woolf. First published on 24 October 1929, the essay was based on a series of lectures she delivered at Newnham College and Girton College, two women's colleges at Cambridge University in October 1928. While this extended essay in fact employs a fictional narrator and narrative to explore women both as writers of and characters in fiction, the manuscript for the delivery of the series of lectures, titled "Women and Fiction", and hence the essay, are considered non-fiction. The essay is generally seen as a feminist text, and is noted in its argument for both a literal and figural space for women writers within a literary tradition dominated by patriarchy.
