Judith Shakespeare – Undead or Alive? On Kajsa Dahlberg’s Artist Book 'A Room of One’s Own / A Thousand Libraries'
2016, Notes on Location
This short essay conducts a reading of Kajsa Dahlberg's artist book 'A Room of One's Own / A Thousand Libraries', which compiles all underlinings and marginal notes made by readers of library copies of the Swedish translation of Virginia Woolf's essay, 'A Room of One's Own', into a single volume. Riffing on thought experiments described by Derrida and Woolf, I argue that Dahlberg’s work envisions a way to accomplish what Woolf could only dream about—namely to bring back Judith Shakespeare, an imaginary sister of William Shakespeare that Woolf evokes in her essay.

Virginia Woolf: Three Centenary Celebrations, 2007
Put before the labyrinth and proliferation of critical perspectives, studies and readings on Virginia Woolf, entangled in articulations of teleologies and epistemologies, the critic faces a question: from where should she/he start writing, on what and from which critical perspective? These were the circumstances that dictated my choice of writing on "A Sketch of the Past", published in Moments of Being-A Collection of Autobiographical Writing, (1976, 1985) and of analysing the narrative strategies used by the author to tell herself, to construct her identity and power, giving voice and authority to herself as a discursive formation. In 1929, in A Room of One's Own, Virginia Woolf explained the non-existence of authoritative female figures, metaphorically represented by Shakespeare's sister: when wondering about the reasons why women had not written as much as men, her conclusion was that historically women had been deprived of education, money, status and a room of their own in which to write. Were women given the intellectual and material conditions-"[if we] have five hundred a year each of us and rooms of our own; if we have the habit of freedom and the courage to write exactly what we think; if we escape a little from the common sitting-room […] If we face the fact that there is no arm to cling to" (AROO 148-149)-, then Shakespeare's sister would be born. The repression of the feminine discourse condemned it to silence and Shakespeare's neglected sister was only born when women were given the power of the word and of representation, when women projected in history an identity which does not fit into the androcentric paradigm of inflexible egos; she was born when women revealed their identity by acknowledging the presence of the other, an identity that is both unique and relational-a flexible ego in a world characterized by relationships. While the masculine tradition of autobiographical writing has taken as a premise the capacity of the writer to create a mirror effect and has made use of a stable and fixed perspective to constitute the self as the unifying element
George ‘Dadie’ Rylands (1902-1999) was a Cambridge don and a director and scholar of Shakespeare. He is well known for hosting the sumptuous dinner in King’s College that Virginia Woolf elaborated in A Room of One’s Own (1929), but he played a yet more significant, and hitherto unrecognized, role in Woolf’s writing life. Rylands brought Woolf in touch with English Studies and mediated between two of its aspects: the patriarchal world that privileged verse and the more democratic world that esteemed verse and prose equally. Rylands’ private letters and critical study Words and Poetry (Hogarth Press, 1928) reinforced Woolf’s confidence that prose could adapt elements of verse, and by extension that her verse-adapting prose had much in common with Shakespeare’s prose-adapting verse. Further, Rylands’ writing on words’ freedom, in Words and Poetry and his BBC talk ‘The Language of Shakespeare’ (18 March 1937), offered language that Woolf transformed for her BBC talk ‘Craftsmanship’ (29 April 1937), delivered in the series ‘Words Fail Me’. Woolf alludes to Rylands to counter the views of the first speaker in the series. This article draws on the Monks House Papers at the University of Sussex and the King’s College Archive Centre at the University of Cambridge.

In the presented thesis I focus on the topics related to gender in Virginia Woolf’s essay A Room of One’s Own (1929) and novel Orlando (1928). I aim to establish whether and how Woolf offers a solution to 20th-century female writers’ problems, and to decide if the offered model is effective in the fight against patriarchal oppression. Proceeding from the historical sources and literary criticism I set out the conditions of living in England in the interwar period, social relations and sex hierarchy, as well as outlining the aims of the feminism movement. Analysis of the chosen works enables me to validate whether the author follows her own advice given in A Room of One’s Own. The thesis draws on Judith Butler’s ideas regarding gender classification and the issue of performativity. I analyse the character of Orlando through the prism of Butler’s research and the situation of women, their opportunities and possibilities. It is concluded that Woolf offers women a model of society in which the qualities characteristic of female and male sex intermix. It allows women having a lifestyle typical of men, which would provide them with freedom and equality. Moreover, performativity proves that gender identity is not acquired naturally, but it is shaped culturally and socially, and undergoes changes in time and space.

Extra Credit for Hamnet
BFFs. Hamnet and Judith Shakespeare are believed to have been named after one of William Shakespeare’s closest childhood friends, Hamnet Sadler, who married a woman named Judith. Sadler became a baker and he and his wife had 14 children, one of whom they named William. He and Shakespeare remained life-long friends, with Sadler serving as one of the witnesses to Shakespeare’s will.
Strategic Sheep. Hamnet hints that John Shakespeare fell afoul of the law by illegally trading in wool. Wool had been a key English product—especially for the export market—since the Middle Ages. And although the trade was in decline by the late 1500s, as English breeds began to face competition from continental sheep, it was still quite lucrative during Shakespeare’s lifetime. In the 1570s, an English law required all non-noblemen to wear a wool cap to church each week.
