‘Design’ – implicitly or explicitly - is a motif which recurs often in Woolf’s diaries, letters and essays whenever she reflects on the possibility of modernizing the novel. The aim of this course is not only to collect and explore Woolf’s theorisations on the notion of design – both in real life and in literature; the aim is also to investigate questions of ‘decoration’ vs. ‘conception’, ‘form’ vs. ‘content’. How are Woolf’s private, passionate practices of modern home ‘design’ reflected in her texts? How does she design spaces, rooms, houses as well as objects and things in her novels? Which patterns and lines does she choose? How do they impact on readers? And what are their larger ethical and political implications?Students will become familiar with important design reformers of the time – Henry Cole, the Arts and Crafts Movement, the Glasgow School, Mackintosh and others. As far as theory is concerned, we will read a range of texts by Bachelard, de Botton and Ahmed.
We’ll peer into Woolf’s many houses, we’ll explore the relationship that exists between design and writing, the interior decoration of real vs. fictional houses, the interior design of modern sensibilities vs. the interior design of characters.
