An essay by this author disfavorably compares an author who had built a "magnificent apparatus for catching life just an inch or two on the wrong side," to the lively manner in which Chekhov describes the drowning of a soldier in his story "Gusev." This author narrated a flaneur's quest to obtain a lead pencil in the essay (*) "Street Haunting," and savaged her usual punching bag Arnold Bennett in her essay "Modern Fiction." The narrator contrasts a sumptuous lunch at an all-male college with a dull dinner at an adjoining women's college in this author's best-known essay, which praises the "incandescence" of the best literary minds. This author imagined the abortive career and tragic suicide of Judith, an equally talented sister of Shakespeare, in an essay declaring that women need money and the title domicile to successfully write fiction. For 10 points, name this author of "A Room of One's Own."
