MIMESIS OF THE EPHEMERAL IN VIRGINIA WOOLF’S LITERARY DISCOURSE

Abstract

This paper addresses the issue of mimesis in its specificity acquired in Virginia Woolf’s short fiction, as a literary manifestation of the ephemeral in its three dimensions − pseudoreal, virtually fanciful as well as material and virtual, all of them together creating the effect of stereoscopic vision, being at once a game-with-the-reader technique.
