It's of variable quality. The opening lines of the poem "The Death of the Young Rat", for example - "In a barn there once lived a silly young rat / Who once in his hole was viewed by a rat" - don't really foretell the emergence of one of the 20th century's great literary talents. But I think we can make allowances, and actually, for the most part, the mimicry and satire is impressively sophisticated, funny and adult. The "Article on Cheekiness" is a pitch-perfect rendering of typically paternalistic Victorian advice to mothers on how to discipline their children. We can also allow that many of the apparently throwaway non-sequiturs were intentional. The standalone announcement, for example, that: "Mr Gerald Duckworth arrived on Saturday evening at Woodside House while cricket was going on, on a very small scale."
As children, Virginia Woolf, elder sister Vanessa Bell, and brother Thoby, collaborated on their very own newspaper, recording the day-to-day events of the family home, 22 Hyde Park Gate. They record the comings and goings of a host of figures whilst also proffering their own fictional and poetic creations. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
