Contenuto
Writing is more than a vehicle of expression. It actually amounts to a filtered complex of thoughts, experiences, and emotions encoded in structure, translated into form. This volume explores the field of literature as a transformative practice capable of shaping identity, fostering understanding, and bridging the personal and the socio-political. Through a comparative analysis of Virginia Woolf, George Orwell, and A.S. Byatt, it examines how writing can not only respond to hardship and trauma, but also give voice to the inner world and question systems of domination. Drawing on both theoretical perspectives and a process of close reading, the book seeks to uncover the redemptive, imaginative, and socially charged dimensions of literary creation. Woolf's lyrical prose, Orwell's moral poignancy, and Byatt's fascination with mythopoesis and romance are here carefully assessed in terms of qualities and strategies that position the writer as a keen observer as well as an agent of change. Literature, far from equating to an ivory-tower pursuit, is one of the most vital means through which individuals may acquire self-knowledge and make sense of the world around them.
