John R. Maze. Virginia Woolf: Feminism, Creativity, and the Unconscious. Westport: Greenwood Press 1997.

JOHN MAZE'S BOOK differs from other psychoanalytical criticism of Woolf in that it is an
interdisciplinary work that bridges literary criticism and psychoanalysis, with mutual benefits. For
Maze, psychoanalysis is not just a mere tool of literary analysis, sometimes useful, sometimes
negligible, but a consistent base of reference which illuminates his interpretation. From the other
direction, the reading that emerges provides a detailed psychoanalytical case study of a creative
mind and its attempt at finding peace and resolution through literary expression.

    This interdisciplinary approach is especially helpful for passages of text that evade cohesive
critical explanation consistent with the rest of the work. Maze claims that data independent of the
text, such as evidence from the author's life, including the unconscious, often succeed in offering
the missing meaning. That ''independent evidence'' is often a source of discomfort for a textual
critic, because it is so remote from the text the analysis appears forced. Once we realize that we
are reading a work of psychoanalysis, and not literary criticism per se, that ''independent evidence''
becomes more admissible.

    The main premise of Maze's analysis is that Woolf's successive books are a quest for
''self-understanding,'' and a record of her process of resolving her relationship with her diseased
mother and her prematurely dead brother Thoby. He also presents Woolf's novels as products of
self-censorship, which sought covert representation for her subconscious desires and fears.

    Following Woolf's self-discovery process, Maze considers each of Woolf's novels
chronologically. The starting point is The Voyage Out. Maze identifies Woolf's conscious intentions
to show Rachel's ''voyage towards independence'' that ends in disaster, and Woolf's own
unconscious fear of the forces that bring that disaster. The connection between the two can only
be achieved through interpretation, sometimes very far-reaching, and that is what constitutes the
brunt of Maze's analysis. Maze postulates that Rachel's relationship with Helen represents Woolf's
relationship with her sister Vanessa, Vinrace representing ''the patronizing, suffocating male
domination from which Woolf knew she herself must escape.'' Rachel's fear of her sexuality and
marriage is a projection of similar fears and trauma connected with Woolf's incestuous childhood.

    Maze then investigates Night and Day as an inquiry into the nature of love as an exalted,
God-sent feeling that demands submission. This definition seems, ever so subtly, to include love
between women, i.e. Mary and Katharine. However, Maze notes that, despite Woolf's bad
experiences with male sexuality, ''Woolf's self-image was so fragile and her need for protection so
great that she could not represent or embrace lesbian love as a better solution than conventional
matrimony.'' The classically romantic ending of the novel is an act of denial of what Maze claims
Woolf knew by that point in her life: ''that the conventional, sentimental image of love is simply
false, that it is merely a consolatory fantasy of a state of perfect harmony that we lost when we
were disjoined from our mother and found ourselves helpless and alone.''

    Jacob's Room and later The Waves are presented as expressions of Woolf's complex sisterly
love and suppressed sexual attraction for her younger brother Thoby. Maze lists notable similarities
between Jacob and Thoby (education, death at twenty-five), conceding that Woolf never confirmed
the identification. He also interprets the female narrator's lighthearted attitude to Jacob's sexual
exploits as Woolf's own unconscious, sexual feelings towards the real life Jacob.

    Mrs. Dalloway is analyzed as a study of sanity versus insanity, both relative. Maze traces the
genesis of the novel to Woolf's original short story, ''Mrs. Dalloway in Bond Street,'' this time
denying the identification of Woolf with the character, since her ''social and political attitudes
[deference to establishment, social snobism] ... are opposed to Woolf's own.'' Maze points out that
''if Clarissa represents sanity and Septimus insanity, then her 'sanity' is the death of the soul; she
remains sane by giving herself over to the morality of power,'' and losing her soul. What society
sees as Septimus's insanity, Maze remarks, is in fact an act of sanity: an attempt to preserve his
soul. Regretfully, Maze neglects the lesbian readings of Clarissa, and instead interprets the ''match
in the crocus'' as a phallic symbol, presenting Clarissa as a case of ''penis envy,'' a bisexual or
''complex androgyne,'' desiring masculinity.

    Maze then shows how To the Lighthouse, a portrayal of Woolf's mother, contains signs of not
only love, most generally acknowledged, but also of Woolf's ''unconscious animosity'' towards the
subject. Her portrait is ''consciously idealized and unconsciously derogatory.'' The reasons for the
latter were Julia Stephen's premature weaning Virginia off her breast, her early preference for Woolf's younger brother Adrian, and her failure to protect Virginia from her half-brothers' sexual abuse. Maze also points out that Woolf ''felt rejected, in part through her mother's attack on her personal integrity by the imposition of Victorian sex-role orthodoxy,'' hence the portrayal of Mrs. Ramsay's fanatic advocacy of marriage, and Lily's
resistance. In his discussion of Lily's independence, however, Maze ignores the lesbian
interpretation of her character, and considers her relationship with Mrs. Ramsay only in one limited
dimension: as with ''a motherly woman friend.''

    Maze next examines how each of The Waves's characters contributes to the ''unfolding of her
[Woolf's] own character,'' and to ''Woolf's analysis of the meaning of her own life'' (120). As the
early drafts indicate, the waves themselves are children, symbolizing succeeding generations, but
also the mindless perpetuation of the species Woolf resented. Interestingly, none of the characters
have significant parents: a sign that by that stage Woolf had resolved that troubling relationship.
Although Woolf is ''writing her life'' through all the characters, she is closest to Rhoda. Maze
focuses on Rhoda's fear of sexual intimacy and her failed affair with Louis without taking into
consideration that Rhoda's lesbian feelings are suppressed throughout the drafts, as Annette
Oxindine suggests in ''Saphist Semiotics in Woolf's The Waves'' (1993). In addition, Maze sees
Rhoda's love for Percival as ''Virginia's unconscious confession of sexual attachment, if only in
fantasy, to her brother [Thoby].'' Maze comments that this seemingly groundless assumption is
confirmed in Sara and the Antigone theme in The Years. Between the Acts continues this
argument through a portrayal of Bart and Lucy as Virginia and Thoby, and Lucy's rivalry with Mrs.
Manresa whom Maze sees as impersonating Vanessa's maternal qualities Thoby admired and
Woolf envied.

    Maze consistently uses holograph drafts and seminal short stories to trace significant revisions.
He moves within the entire Woolf oeuvre with great competence, using the diary, essays, and
letters as extratextual evidence. In his discussion of all the novels, Maze uses chronological
summary as the order of his analysis, which is important for the psycho-analytical component with
its reliance on causal relationships, but does not entirely satisfy a critical mind, used to seeking
more selective connections.

    For the readers less interested in psychoanalyzing Woolf, the main value of this study lies in its
solid textual work, and in its attempt to arrive at a fair assessment of Woolf's intentions. Maze stresses throughout the book that Woolf's feminism was far from fanaticism or uncritical blindness, that she despised attitudes not sexes, and was against the love of power and authoritarianism, ''cloaked as morality,'' in either men or women.
