維吉尼亞.吳爾芙最顛峰的代表作。也是她老是被聲音「驚擾」的一次交響曲,出版後再度面臨精神崩潰的狀態。
她的目標是要為生命照像,從最早的感覺甦醒一直到最後;生命的夢想、野心、期盼、成就和失敗,一直到最終的幻滅。」-約翰.賽門
「當我們身不在那裡但依舊存在的事物」,1926年吳爾芙在日記裡,提到寫這樣一本書的想法。隨後她將這個想法最早實現於《燈塔行》,就是「當我們身不在那裡但想起一張在那裡的桌子」。
《海浪》,將這個想法推到了最極盡。
六個人物,在那裡也不在那裡,同時不在也同時存在。挑戰吳爾芙最巔峰、最終極的意識流作品。
《海浪》也許是吳爾芙作品中結構最形式化,敘事本身全然內心化的一部作品。《海浪》透過六個人物不斷的獨白,不斷的獨白,不斷的獨白…,呈現九個像故事又不是故事的段落。六個人物用自己描述性的「標籤」或主題曲,在全書中持續地變奏:人物在長大的過程中,漸漸發展出歧異性。隨著死亡和失落陰影的籠罩,漸漸明瞭某些野心和夢想將永遠不會實現,感受到日益年老所帶來的失意悵然。
而太陽自海邊的花園升起,在結尾時落下,所有事物背後都是海浪。這些固定出現、純描述的意象插曲,分隔了故事的段落,也是書中唯一的客觀性,其他盡是無休止的內心的獨白。因所有寫實主義的花招盡被丟棄,使其更像是古典戲劇而非小說。
作者簡介
維吉妮亞.吳爾芙(Virginia Woolf,1882.01.25 ~ 1941.03.28)
英國女作家,被譽為二十世紀現代主義與女性主義的先鋒。兩次世界大戰期間,她是倫敦文學界的核心人物,同時也是布倫茲伯利藝文圈主要成員之一。最知名的小說包括《戴洛威夫人》、《燈塔行》、《自己的房間》、《海浪》等。
吳爾芙被譽為二十偉大的小說家,現代主義文學潮流的先鋒。她對英語語言革新良多,在小說中嘗試意識流的寫作方法,試圖去描繪在人們心底的潛意識。愛德華‧摩根‧福斯特稱她將英語「朝著光明的方向推進了一小步」。她在文學上的成就和創新至今仍有影響。
吳爾芙患有嚴重的抑鬱症,她曾在1936年寫給朋友的信中提及:「永不要相信我的信,不騙你,寫這信之前我徹夜未眠,瞪著一瓶chloral,喃喃說著不能、不要,你不能飲。」1941年3月28日,她在自己的口袋?裝滿了石頭之後,投入了位於羅德麥爾她家附近的歐塞河自盡。

--- 董橋〈愛書瑣記〉中的The Waste Land by T S Eliot, Hogarth Press edition

The Waste Land by T S Eliot, Hogarth Press edition

The Waste Land is arguably the most influential modernist poem of the 20th century. It was first published in October 1922 in the British journal The Criterion, then a month later in the American journal The Dial, before appearing in book form, firstly, in America by Boni and Liverlight in 1922, and then in 1923 by Leonard and Virginia Woolf’s Hogarth Press.
The poem is divided into five sections; ‘The Burial of the Dead’, ‘A Game of Chess’, ‘The Fire Sermon’, ‘Death by Water’, and ‘What Thunder Said’. When the poem appeared in book form, Eliot included explanatory notes to the many religious, cultural, and literary allusions. Nevertheless the poem remains difficult and complex with references to Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism. Eliot also incorporates a number of different languages including, French, Italian, Greek, and German. Throughout the poem there are allusions to Shakespeare, Dante, Ovid, Milton, Baudelaire, Virgil, Spenser, and Homer among others. Juxtaposed to these highbrow references are colloquial passages of public house conversations, popular music hall song, and the Tarot.

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.
You cannot find peace by avoiding life.
Arrange whatever pieces come your way.
