Similarities Between Virginia Woolf And Doris Lessing. By Lynda Scott.
Discusses similarities between lessing and Virginia Woolf. From Deep South magazine. Similarities Between Virginia Woolf and doris lessing. Lynda Scott
http://www.otago.ac.nz/DeepSouth/vol3no2/scott.html

Extractions: lynda.scott@stonebow.otago.ac.nz Deep South v.3 n.2 (Winter 1997) Many critics such as Roberta Rubenstein, Magali Cornier Michael, and Claire Sprague, point out the numerous similarities which exist between Woolf and Lessing, and of course Lessing does deliberately invoke Woolf in The Golden Notebook by naming her woman artist Anna Wulf. In this paper, however, I will focus on what I consider to be the strongest and most interesting common point of reference between the two. This is their common distrust of, yet fascination with, the workings of memory, as well as the construction of a personal sense of selfhood, one which develops from an amalgam of 'fact' and 'fiction,' 'actuality' and a sense of a personal 'truth.' Both writers, I believe, use their 'self-representational' or 'autobiographical' texts as the therapeutic means of 'Self'-discovery, to exorcise past unpleasantness, to 'fix' the past, and to create a significant personal present and a sense of 'truth.' I shall discuss first the ways in which both Woolf and Lessing juxtapose 'fact' with 'fiction' in order to create a meaningful sense of 'Self.' Alongside this discussion I shall examine some of the implications of the creation of 'fictive selves' through self-representational writing for Woolf and Lessing. My approach, which concentrates on the unreliability of memory as Woolf and Lessing perceived it, necessarily involves a consideration of historiographic metafiction.

Both of her parents were British: her father, who had been crippled in World War I, was a clerk in the Imperial Bank of Persia; her mother had been a nurse. In 1925, lured by the promise of getting rich through maize farming, the family moved to the British colony in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). Doris's mother adapted to the rough life in the settlement, energetically trying to reproduce what was, in her view, a civilized, Edwardian life among savages; but her father did not, and the thousand-odd acres of bush he had bought failed to yield the promised wealth. Lessing has described her childhood as an uneven mix of some pleasure and much pain. The natural world, which she explored with her brother, Harry, was one retreat from an otherwise miserable existence. Her mother, obsessed with raising a proper daughter, enforced a rigid system of rules and hygiene at home, then installed Doris in a convent school, where nuns terrified their charges with stories of hell and damnation.

Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Doris (May) Lessing (1919-) - original surname Tayler Persian (Iranian)-born British writer, whose novels and short stories are largely concerned with people caught in the social and political upheavals of the 20th century. Central themes in Lessing's works are feminism (see also Simone de Beauvoir , Betty Friedman, Germaine Greer, Marilyn French ), the battle of sexes, and individuals in search for wholeness. "Not simply an artist, she is also critic and prophet, dissecting in minute detail the faults of society "hypnotized by the idea of Armageddon" and prophesying the calamitous results of those faults. At the same time, she attempts to delineate possible solutions to the world's problems." (Mary Ann Singleton in The City and the Veld, The Fiction of Doris Lessing Doris Lessing spent her early childhood in Kermanshah, Persia (now Iran), where her English-born father was a bank clerk. In the mid-1920s her father bought a maize farm in Zimbabwe (former Rhodesia), where she grew up. Lessing was educated in Salisbury at a Roman Catholic convent. She left the school at the age of fourteen and worked as a nursemaid, telephone operator and clerk. From the age 18 she worked at the Rhodesian parliament and helped to start a nonracist left-wing party in the country. Her first marriage ended in 1943. She joined the Communist Party and married the German political activist Gottfried Lessing, who later became the German ambassador to Uganda and was accidentally killed in the 1979 revolt against Idi Amin.

Prolific, intellectual and varied, Lessing is best known for The Golden Notebook, a key moment in both feminist writing and post-modern fragmentary narrative. She tackles themes of identity in varied settings: in terms of the thought processes of the main protagonists, her 'space fiction' quintet, The Sirian Experiments, is as deeply realistic as any of her more earth-bound novels. Her investigation into what she calls "inner space" and accepted definitions of sanity and insanity began with 1952's Martha Quest, the first book in the Children of Violence quintet; Mara and Dann imagines a future ice age. The critical verdict on Ben, in the World was less positive.

Critics of Lessing often discuss her fiction within its psychoanalytical and Jungian frameworks and focus only on specific textual details such as the dreams of the protagonists. While this method centres on the characters' quest for selfhood, critics have not fully applied a psychoanalytic approach to her self-representational writing, which is also a quest for, and construction of, selfhood. In this paper I will discuss the links between psychoanalysis or psychotherapy and self-representational writing with specific references to The Golden Notebook The Diaries of Jane Somers, a selection of her autobiographical essays, and Under My Skin , part one of her autobiography which was only published in 1994. I examine Lessing's notion of "selfhood" through these novels and alongside her autobiography proper because Under My Skin is, I believe, an example of what postmodernist theorist Linda Hutcheon calls historiographic metafiction.(1) If indeed any autobiographical enterprise involves the self-conscious and deliberate textualisation of oneself and the creation of a "fictive" construct, Lessing deliberately posits fiction and truth as two sides of the same coin. Linda Hutcheon defines historiographic metafiction as "offered as another of the discourses by which we construct our versions of reality", arguing that "both the construction and the need for it are what are foregrounded in the postmodern novel". In this paper, I do not, however, seek to allow "autobiography" to collapse completely into the genre of fiction, but rather, to highlight the "autobiographical" nature of much of Lessing's fiction and the fictionality and constructed nature of

Extractions: Det er blitt sagt om Doris Lessing at ho skriv slik at det endrar folks liv. Den gyldne notatboken (1962) blir ofte nemnd i same åndedrag. Forfattarskapen hennar blir også skildra som ein vedvarande studie i einsemd. Det er femti år sidan ho debuterte med Det synger i gresset. Der vart ho farmardotter, ho køyrde bil som elleveåring, streifa rundt på velden og lærde tidleg å skyte småvilt. Mora var ein dyktig sjukepleiar, men slutta i yrket da ho gifta seg, og ho mistrivdes i Afrika. Doris Lessing skriv i sjølvbiografien Under huden (på norsk i 1995) at ho i årevis levde i ein tilstand av anklage mot mora: Noko som har undra lesarar av sjølvbiografien er at ho i så liten grad har tatt opp si eiga rolle som mor i høve til dei to første barna sine: ho gifta seg som tjueåring, fekk barna tett på kvarandre, og reiste frå dei da dei var små. I intervjuet NRK P2 har med henne seier ho at dette valet gjekk på liv og død: Sidan er det blitt over femti romanar, novellesamlingar, skodespel og dokumentarbøker. Spennvidda hennar er stor: britisk kolonialisme, apokalyptiske visjonar av eit framtidig London, fleire science fiction-romanar, og livet til ei ung jente som veks opp på den afrikanske velden.
