　　Virginia Woolf and the European Avant-Garde: London, Painting, Film and Photography explores the aesthetics of Woolf’s image of London in her writings. The image of London does not make Woolf a “stay-at-home” writer. Through her life long engagement with the visual arts, art criticism and philosophy, Woolf finds related expression in literature, as one can see in her narrative: the Post-Impressionist dual vision of painting in writing, Cubist cinematic flashback and montage of shots, and Surrealist snapshort of life, death and desire. Woolf’s narrative from defines her own modernism in the context of the city. Her vision shows the dialectics of inner and outer spheres, in which the aesthetics of the urban gendered gaze is significant.
