Shakespeare's Sister and a Spider's Web of Fiction (A Room of One's Own, Part 1)
Dora Zhang, Associate Professor of English and Comparative Literature at UC Berkeley and editor of the Norton Library A Room of One's Own, brings modernist expertise. She traces Woolf's literary upbringing, explores the argument that money and a private room enable creative work, and unpacks the spider's web metaphor, narrative blending of autobiography and history, and the invention of Judith Shakespeare.
