Book Description
She attempts to define and explore her value system using two fabricated measuring standards, the public psychometer of great art and the private psychometer of instinct or taste. These often conflicting standards, however, lead her into a maze of circular reasoning and contradiction. In order to escape her cultural context, Woolf needed an Archimedes point, some distant position and objective perspective from which to view and judge the whole of society.
