Thoughts on the World During an Air Raid

In the collection of essays by the famous English writer Virginia Woolf (1882–1941), there are small analytical texts written in the same rich artistic language as her larger prose. Some works were conceived as brutal social polemics, while others resemble... literary sketches, samples of modernist novels, or psychological studies. In each essay of this collection, Woolf manifests herself as a sensitive recorder of modernity, creating text-moments, elusive sketches, images, and intuitions of a new age. The titular work 'Thoughts on the World During an Air Raid' was written in August 1940 for an American symposium on the issues of contemporary women. In it, Woolf reflects on how the patriarchal desire for power and enslavement leads to wars and dictatorships.
