	Scotsman.com News - Features - The naked truth
		Lee has a room of her own here since she is a Cullman scholar, with a year’s residency at the library, a recipient of one of those uniquely American awards endowed by wealthy, philanthropic couples.
		Lee says that she knew she could not write a straightforward biography of Woolf because so many had been done already, but she was much more interested in what Woolf herself had to say about the shape of a life as it is lived and the shape of it as it is processed.
		Made a CBE in 2003, Lee is the author of works of literary criticism, such as an insightful study of Philip Roth’s fiction, which she published in 1982, has edited and compiled numerous anthologies of work by Kipling, Trollope and Stevie Smith, and is a co-editor of the Oxford Poets Anthologies.

	The Observer \| Review \| Observer review: Body Parts by Hermione Lee
		Hermione Lee is one of our senior literary critics - a former contributor to these pages - and the acclaimed biographer of Elizabeth Bowen, Willa Cather and Virginia Woolf.
		Lee's subjects range from Austen and Shelley - a penetrating discussion of the legend of the poet's heart - to JM Coetzee and Penelope Fitzgerald, 'the quiet ghost'.
		In her own way, Lee is as subversive as Peston, and quite as explosive in her insistence on the vital importance of the connections between physical and literary detail.

	Virginia Woolf : Reviews, Prices, Deals
		Hermione Lee creates a template for the perfect biography; grouping thematic matter on Woolf while maintaining a strong chronological thread; filling the book with fasincating literary detail, but balancing this with gossip from the Bloomsbury group and beyond, and detailed historical contextualisation.
		Although Hermione Lee is an academic, and the work is scholarly, I was intrigued and my interest was caught right until the very end.
		Hermione Lee is obviously a more than competent biographer, and the attention to detailed research in this work is superlative.

	A Modern Woman - Hermione Lee discovers Virginia Woolf's radicalism. By Sarah Kerr (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Hermione Lee's biography of Virginia Woolf is a revelation.
		Lee guesses that it was because Woolf predicted in advance the ridicule of her male friends (and literary competitors) that she kept herself from doing so.
		Given that Woolf's mind was beginning to cloud over again, Lee thinks that her decision to kill herself by walking into the Ouse, one day in the 1940s, was, in its way, a brave one.

		Als er één beeld is dat Hermione Lee heeft willen bijstellen, is het dat van de breekbare, bloedeloze, melancholieke maagd die het slachtoffer was van incest met als gevolg dat zij frigide, krankzinnig en suïcidaal werd.
		Hermione Lee spreekt het woord tussen aanhalingstekens uit.
		Lee is uit bewondering voor het werk aan haar boek begonnen en die is alleen maar groter geworden.

	Hermione Lee
		Lee's biographical, editorial and critical work is impressive both in terms of its scholarly rigor and its ability to translate and render compelling the esoteric, notoriously 'difficult' writers and works of high modernism.
		Where earlier biographies skirt around or crudely assert Cather's lesbianism, Lee attends to the nuances of her sexuality, the ways in which she works through 'indirection, suppression, and suggestion, and through a refusal to be enlisted'.
		At one point Lee associates Cather's sexuality with Virginia Woolf's sense that androgyny is the ideal state of the artist.

	Not To be Talking About Quidditch
		Lee knew her, sort of: Hermione was the smart little thing with the bushy hair.
		Lee really wanted to give her a container of beeswax and tell her to just get it over with because by the time she was in sixth year she'd have dreads anyway, but he didn't think it would be appreciated.
		Lee didn't really see the fascination; all she was doing was reading an extremely thick book and muttering to herself occasionally.

	Salon \| Sneak Peeks
		Hermione Lee has written the latest Woolf biography for people like me -- fans of the Virginia Woolf legend who are less intrigued by her prose.
		Adding to the confusion, Lee writes as if Woolf's novels are common knowledge, and neither summarizes the plots nor explains the novelist's contribution to modernism.
		For instance, she re-examines the myth that Woolf's marriage was loveless by citing diary passages of true affection; after 25 years of marriage, Woolf wrote, "You see, it is an enormous pleasure, being wanted: a wife.

	Commentary Magazine - Willa Cather, by Hermione Lee (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		...While Lee admires the skill with which Cather deploys allusions and executes certain classical forms, and while she will grudgingly admit that "in fact, the settling of the old West was an amazing process," she does not share Catcher's belief in the grandeur of her subject...
		...Catcher, says Lee, later felt grateful that she had escaped journalism at the right moment: after she had learned what it had to teach her about factuality and concision and before it could crush her spirit and imagination...
		...This is glossed by the English critic Hermione Lee, in her new biography of Willa Cather, as follows: "Cather as Jim consoles herself for her lost youth (and for the lost golden age of American pioneering history) by turning the figures of her local past into an American pastoral...

	Powell's Books - Virginia Woolf by Hermione Lee
		Subscribing to Virginia Woolf's own belief in the fluidity and elusiveness of identity, Lee comes at her subject from a multitude of perspectives, producing a richly layered portrait of the writer and the woman that leaves all of her complexities and contradictions intact.
		Such issues as sexual abuse, mental illness, and suicide are brought into balance with the immensity of her literary achievement, her heroic commitment to her work, her generosity and wit, and her sanity and strength.
		Hermione Lee holds the Goldsmiths'Chair in English Literature at New College, Oxford.

		The mother, Emily, is withdrawn into illness, and dogged by a life-long resentment of her self-pleasing sister, a promisingly reckless off-stage character called Hermione.
		The son is an affable joker; the older daughter, Cecilia, has been to Cambridge but is now at a loss; and her sister, Briony, is a ferociously orderly child 'possessed by a desire to have the world just so' - a desire that takes the form of writing.
		Into this household, one fatal day (as Briony might put it) come Hermione's neglected children: sexy, manipulative teenage Lola, and two pathetic twin brothers, whom Briony immediately ropes in to be in her play, a wonderful and absurd farrago called The Trials of Arabella.
