Abstract

ABSTRACT: This article leans over Virginia Woolf’s “A Haunted House”, published in the only short-story collection she edited in her lifetime, Monday or Tuesday (1921), in order to investigate how Woolf’s short stories intensify the crisis of literary genres staged by her novels, on the one hand; and in order to understand how such a crisis is analogous to the political question that haunts her entire oeuvre, on the other: gender as a question of identity. In dialogue with philosophy and Woolfian scholarship, this study articulates these crises (gender x genre) and at the same time produces a cultural-historical contextualization of Virginia Woolf's short stories.

Keywords: Virginia Woolf. The Short Story. Gender. Genre.
