Kritik
"The book is remarkably detailed and rigorous in its textual analysis. Dirschauer has clearly read widely in Woolf studies and in Woolf's oeuvre, and this study results in a richly layered and compelling argument ... . The breadth, attention, and density of Dirschauer's analyses are impressive. ... Modernist Waterscapes offers much of interest to Woolf scholars and modernist scholars interested in ecocriticism, feminist analysis, and literary history." (Amy Smith, (Amy C. Smith, Woolf Studies Annual, Vol. 30, 2024)

"Marlene Dirschauer's Modernist Waterscapes is one of several recent studies that take on board insights from the Blue Humanities and Ecocriticism, without giving up on the strengths of established formal, stylistic and rhetorical analyses of literary texts. [...] The strength of Dirschauer's study consists not only in such interpretations of Woolf's best-known works but in her engagement with the entire oeuvre, showing the ubiquity and breadth of Woolf's use of water, even in the dryness in Between the Acts expressive of the boundaries of human language. In the online version, the chapters of Modernist Waterscapes are available separately. However, this book is worthwhile reading in its entirety, to discover the whole panorama of Woolf's aquatic universe." (Virginia Richter, Anglistik: International Journal of English Studies, Vol. 34 (3), 2023)
