Virginia Woolf A Sketch of the Past | Writing the Self: Sound & Rhythm | LITERATURE ANALYSIS 

VIRGINIA WOOLF ANALYSIS | There’s no need to be afraid of Virginia Woolf! Close reading & analysis of Woolf’s first memory, recollected in her autobiographical life writing ‘A Sketch of the Past’ (1939), to show how she writes about consciousness and multiple selves using sound and rhythm. How does one write one’s most ‘natural’ self? Woolf attempts to construct ‘natural’ selves through the remembered sounds and rhythms of her first memory, echoed in the sounds and rhythms of that first memory’s description.

PASSAGE
If life has a base that it stands upon, if it is a bowl that one fills and fills and fills-then my bowl without a doubt stands upon this memory. It is of lying half asleep, half awake, in bed in the nursery at St. Ives. It is of hearing the waves breaking, one, two, one, two, and sending a splash of water over the beach; and then breaking, one, two, one two, behind a yellow blind. It is of hearing the blind draw its little acorn across the floor as the wind blew the blind out. It is of lying and hearing this splash and seeing this light, and feeling, it is almost impossible that I should be here; of feeling the purest ecstasy I can conceive.
