Synopsis "La Muerte de la Polilla: Y Otros Escritos (in Spanish)"

Esta antología es fundamental para acercarse al particular mundo de Virginia Woolf.
Para ella, parte de los méritos atribuibles a un ensayo son "ese libre relampagueo de la imaginación, esa destellante fractura de genialidad en medio de ellos, que los deja defectuosos e imperfectos, pero iluminados de poesía". La autora aprovecha el género para adentrarse por sus vericuetos y explorar ciertos temas sumamente cotidianos o menudos: la reseña, el estudio de algún autor, el ensayo sobre cuestiones teóricas de la literatura o las situaciones sociales, el sentido de la vida y, desde luego, el ensayo en su sentido primero.
Woolf se interesó vivamente en escribir como mujer, apartándose del patrón literario masculino, tanto en lo formal como en lo conceptual. Consideraba nefasta la idea de ser puramente hombre o puramente mujer, ya que creía en la enriquecedora posibilidad de ser masculinamente femenina o femeninamente masculina.

Virginia Woolf was born in London on January 25, 1882, and died on March 28, 1941, drowned in the River Ouse. After her father's death, the well-known man of letters Sir Leslie Stephen, Virginia and her sister Vanessa left the elegant Kensington neighborhood and moved to the bohemian Bloomsbury, which named the brilliant literary group formed around the Stephen sisters. Among its members were T. S. Eliot, Bertrand Russell, Vita Sackville-West, and the writer Leonard Woolf, whom Virginia married and with whom she ran the prestigious Hogarth Press. From her early works, Virginia Woolf highlighted her intention to take novels beyond mere narration. In Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927), the author expressed the inner feelings of the characters with her own techniques, achieving great psychological effects through images, metaphors, and symbols. Her technique was consolidated with Orlando (1931) and The Waves (1931), which secured her an indisputable place within the finest world literature. Additionally, Woolf wrote essays as famous as A Room of One's Own (1929), which still inspires new generations of women today, literary criticism articles like those compiled in The Common Reader (1925, 1932) and in Genius and Ink (2021), or the biography of the English poet Elizabeth Barrett's dog, Flush (1933). All these works are published by Lumen.
