Sheng, Ning. Guan yu Wu'erfu de 1910 [ID D31611].
Sheng Ning's essay offers a third discussion of Woolf's theory of fiction, investigating the reasons of Woolf's choice of time and rectifying the translation and interpretation of Woolf's diction 'human character'. 'Woolf's particular choice of the year and the month is the exhibition of the post-impressionist paintings organized by Woolf's friends Rogert Fry and Desmond MacCarthy'. Sheng claims, that Woolf sees the new artistic perception conveyed by this Post-Impressionist show as demonstrating an era-breaking change of self-understanding. Sheng holds that the most important idea Woolf wants to express in 'Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown' is that 'here is a character imposing itself upon another person. Hereis Mrs. Brown making someone begin almost automatically to write a novel about her'. Sheng concludes that 'what Woolf means is that on or about December 1910 the image of character changed.
