Vanessa Bell’s “tiny book”: Woolf, Impressionism, Roger Fry, and Anti-Semitism

Abstract

This chapter is a critical discussion of Woolf's relation to Jews and Jewishness during the early years of her intellectual development. It considers the Antisemitism in her diaries and letters (contrasted with her early works) as well as the impact of Mauclair's The French Impressionists on Woolf's views about class and race.
