Flush: A Biography

Flush: A Biography, is an imaginative biography of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's cocker spaniel. The book, like Woolf's other biographies, are a mix of fiction and non-fiction.  Life is seen through the eyes of a dog and Browning's character can be read as any number of female artists. Most insightful and experimental are Woolfs emotional and philosophical views verbalized in Flushs thoughts. As he spends more time with Barrett Browning, Flush becomes emotionally and spiritually connected to the poetess and both begin to understand each other despite their language barriers. In Flush Woolf examines the barriers that exist between woman and animal created by language yet overcome through symbolic actions.Adeline Virginia Woolf was an English author, essayist, publisher, and writer of short stories, regarded as one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century.During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a member of the Bloomsbury Group.
