Herzog, Matthew. ¡°Uncommon Readers: The Unevenness of Literacy and Learning in Virginia Woolf¡¯s Jacob¡¯s Room.¡± Studies in English Language & Literature 48.1 (2022): 25-45. Virginia Woolf extensively engaged with issues of education in her own time. Her most famous tracks from A Room of One¡¯s Own to Three Guineas all contain criticisms of ¡°educated men.¡± Woolf brought these critiques into her literary output in her novel Jacob¡¯s Room, which has come to be seen as an anti-bildungsroman. In Jacob¡¯s Room, Woolf¡¯s first self-proclaimed experimental novel, she critiques the male figure of culture and literacy while also showing new female figures of literacy. Yet, not all these figures receive the egalitarian moral force of Woolf¡¯s project. This article focuses on the character of Florinda, a working-class prostitute in the novel. Woolf¡¯s descriptions of Florinda¡¯s literacy problematically move from sympathy to condescension. By looking at the portrayal of this working-class female figure of literacy, this article shows how the unevenness of literacy and learning in the period found its way into one of Woolf¡¯s first modernist novels.
