| Rezumat: | Lately, the postmodern culture has been exploiting the multifaceted Woolfian text extensively and intensively. Numerous films, plays and written texts have emerged, having as source of inspiration Woolf’s work, as well as the academic metatext produced around her writings. Although acknowledged while alive, Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? contributed prodigiously to her fame. It is not an exaggeration to say that now, literally, Virginia Woolf is everywhere. The internet abounds in Virginia Woolf societies, blogs and forums debating her works and life, in pictures and documentaries and, just as any respectable celebrity, she even has a Facebook account made on her name. The motivation for this noticeable presence on the World Wide Web and on the postmodern stage is unquestionably the magnetism exerted by her experimental writing and tumultuous life. Therefore, in the context thus formulated, the name Virginia Woolf does not only denominate the writer, but develops a certain textuality indicating her various and multiple instances. The present paper sets out to investigate how impersonators of Virginia Woolf, such as Eileen Atkins (A Room of One’s Own) and Nicole Kidman (The Hours), make use of this textuality in their attempt to portray different facets of a troubled yet very resourceful mind. |
