- Title
Odds, Ends, and Others: Objects and the Narration of Woolf's Servant Characters.
- Authors
Miller, Monica J.
- Abstract
The article discusses the objects and narration of the servant characters in Virginia Woolf's novels. It says that Heather Levy said that over the career of Woolf, she struggled to look for a means of duty portraying working-class characters. Woolf also sacrifices the intimacy between reader and character through displacing the servants' inner lives onto the objects they handle. Moreover, Woolf's effort to address the Servant Question shapes the political and narrative development of her work.
