For Dr. Kristin Bluemel’s course on the Novel, my seminar paper consisted of comparison of Arnold Bennett’s Anna Of The Five Towns and Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway. Given their famous feud, I found they had a lot more in common than I thought they would. I wanted to look at how these novels show different ways in which “real” history, specifically that of women, is recorded. I examined the intertextual approach Woolf uses against the geographic, author based, approach Bennett uses. A big question became how is intertextuality a different form of citation than geography. After carefully examining both novels, and authors, I found that they came to similar, but not totally the same, conclusions. (PDF)
