Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown by Virginia Woolf
QR code
"Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown" by Virginia Woolf is an essay published in 1924 that explores the arrival of modernism in literature. Written as a rebuttal to critic Arnold Bennett's dismissal of her work, Woolf argues that human character fundamentally changed around 1910, requiring writers to evolve their methods. She challenges Bennett's notion of "reality" in fiction, contrasting traditional Edwardian approaches with new Georgian sensibilities. Through the imagined figure of Mrs. Brown,
Woolf defends modernist writing as impressionistic truth-telling for a transformed world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
