Requirements: .PDF reader, 5 mb
Overview: “A probing and compendious crow’s nest of a handbook that splendidly epitomizes the global reach and indisputable genius of the full range of Virginia Woolf’s writings. Diligently up to the minute while equally alert to the deeper histories of her critical heritage, it deserves to become a standard primer for scholars and general readers alike.”
David Bradshaw, University of Oxford
A Companion to Virginia Woolf is a thorough examination of her life, work, and multiple contexts in 33 essays written by leading scholars in the field. It contains insightful and provocative new scholarship and also sketches out new directions for future research. The essays approach Woolf’s writing from a variety of perspectives and disciplines, including modernism, postcolonialism, queer theory, animal studies, digital humanities, and the law.
In addition to providing in-depth discussion of Woolf’s life and of each of her main works, the essays explore the multiple trajectories taken by her work around the world, covering the Bloomsbury Group and the Hogarth Press, to India and Latin America
As multi-faceted and innovative as Woolf’s writing itself, this Companion is an important research tool that situates Woolf studies at the vanguard of contemporary literature scholarship and the new modernist studies.
