Hesperus Press, 2003〕 ==Title== In her 1919 work ''Modern Fiction'', Virginia Woolf explains her new approach to writing : Examine for a moment an ordinary mind on an ordinary day. The mind receives a myriad impressions—trivial, fantastic, evanescent, or engraved with the sharpness of steel. From all sides they come, an incessant shower of innumerable atoms; and as they fall, as they shape themselves into the life of Monday or TuesdayThis last phrase "the life of Monday or Tuesday", is what Woolf believed to be at the core of fiction; and from it came the title of this, her first short story collection,〔http://www.raco.cat/index.php/LinksLetters/article/viewFile/22738/22572 Parody and metafiction: Virginia Woolf ’s ‘An Unwritten Novel’〕 and the only selection she published herself. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Monday or Tuesday」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
