Resumo

In this paper, we trace Virginia Woolf’s androgynous poetics throughout her oeuvre. We shall observe how Woolf appraises women’s trajectory through a male dominated literary canon, and how she accounts for the silencing of women poets through the figure of Judith Shakespeare. We also argue that, for Woolf, women writers should begin to devise a new sentence for their use, as well as a new genre that surpasses the novel, by incorporating poetic inflections in their writing. Finally, we discuss Woolf’s defence of androgyny in fiction, and how she maintains that it is only through writing with an androgynous mind, balanced and collective, that women authors will be able to achieve a poetic and liberating writing.
