Book Synopsis
Focusing on Virginia Woolf's writings in conjunction with those of her husband, Leonard, this book illuminates Leonard's sense of ambivalent social identity and its affinities to Virginia's complex ideas of subjectivity.

Trade Review
"For all its theoretical knowingness, Outsiders Together is a rather old-fashioned celebration of a long, intimate heterosexual relationship... The strength of Outsiders Together is that it moves beyond the working and emotional relationship of Leonard and Virginia to subtly address larger issues--such as Leonard's Jewishness and Virginia's politics--which have hitherto been treated rather crudely."--Bryan Cheyette, Times Literary Supplement "Rosenfeld's study is broad in scope, covering most of the lives of and the major works of both writers, while dwelling long enough on the writing to provide several illuminating cross-readings of texts... Clearly and elegantly written, Outsiders Together makes a very persuasive case."--Jessica Berman, Virginia Woolf Miscellany
