Woolf

Woolf takes a completely different approach to academic writing when producing a Room of One’s Own. When calling out the expectations for a typical scholarly lecture she is also undermining them. In my eyes, when she does this it calls out the ridicule of a typical scholarly lecture. I think that she does this for that reason and also because by doing this it explains why her lecture will be so different and why she is doing what she is doing. Obviously this writing is very different then most, I kind of like to think of it as a journal.  The reason I believe this is because she is explaining her thought process and going over every tedious detail as one might do in a journal. I think that this gives the audience a more intimate look into Woolf’s mind and really emphasizes the need for a creative being to have space. Therefore, making this lecture extremely powerful and meaningful when looked at through an open mind.
