    1. Leo Tolstoy

    The Cossacks

    Leo Tolstoy was born in 1828 in the Tula province. He studied at the University of Kazan, then led a life of pleasure until 1851 when he joined an artillery regiment in the Caucasus. He established his reputation as a writer with The Sebastopol Sketches (1855-6). After a period in St Petersburg and abroad, he married, had thirteen children, managed his vast estates in the Volga Steppes and wrote War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877). A Confession (1879-82) marked a spiritual crisis in his life, and in 1901 he was excommuincated by the Russian Holy Synod. He died in 1910, in the course of a dramatic flight from home, at the railway station of Astapovo.

  9. Je eigen kamer
    1. Virginia Woolf

    Je eigen kamer

    Wat als Shakespeare een geniale zus had gehad? Zou zij dezelfde kansen hebben gekregen als haar broer? Had zij haar talent kunnen ontplooien? Virginia Woolf denkt van niet. Het leven van Judith Shakespeare zou al op voorhand een verdoemd, mislukt leven geweest zijn. In de loop van de geschiedenis hebben vrouwen immers nooit de financiële en materiële onafhankelijkheid gehad die nodig is om ongestoord te kunnen werken en nadenken. En ook van de (mannelijke) kritiek hoefden ze geen steun te verwachten – zoals bleek toen Charlotte en Emily Brontë, George Eliot en Jane Austen hun werk publiceerden.   In deze klassiek geworden, nog altijd actuele tekst uit 1928 houdt Virginia Woolf een vurig pleidooi om vrouwen letterlijk én figuurlijk meer ruimte te geven.
