    Reading Response #8 Reading: “A Room of One’s Own‚ a Mind of One’s Own” by Robert Storr I don’t often consider the artist’s studio when I am looking at art‚ but Robert Storr’s commentary on the perception of the “artist studio” was interesting and reminded me that there are other aspects to the creation of a piece of art other than a brush with paint being placed on canvas. I particularly enjoyed Storr’s descriptions of different artists’ studios‚ especially the studio of Willem de Kooning.

    "I have read 200 pages [of Ulysses] so far‚" Virginia Woolf writes in her diary for 16 August 1922‚ and reports that she has been "amused‚ stimulated‚ charmed[‚] interested ... to the end of the Cemetery scene." As "Hades" gives way to "Aeolus‚" however‚ and the novel of character and private sensibility yields to a farrago of styles‚ she is "puzzled‚ bored‚ irritated‚ & disillusioned"--by no grand master of language‚ in her characterization‚ but "by a queasy undergraduate scratching his pimples

    In reading “A Room with a View” and “A Room of One’s Own” I find that the two novels show similarities in their anti-Victorian themes. The conformity of the Victorian era is a concept of the past in these novels; both plots showcase a woman’s growth mentally and emotionally. In Victorian times women thinking freely or having goals was frowned upon‚ making any form of female growth go completely against the brain. Feminist themes and ideas are brought up throughout the text. The main characters of

    Virginia Woolf’s essay on Mary Wollstonecraft in the Common Reader is essentially‚ an active continuation of the experimental method on which Mary Wollstonecraft based her life.

Woolf here attempts to vividly reconstruct the thoughts and ideas on which
