Woolfian Boundaries - Paperback

by Anna Burrells (Editor), Steve Ellis (Editor)

Woolfian Boundaries aims to explore Woolf's work from perspectives "beyond the boundary" of her own positions and attitudes, taking her coolness toward the provinces and "prejudice" against the regional novel (Letters 6: 381) as the starting-point for considering her writing in the light of its own "limits," self-declared and otherwise. Topics include Woolf's connections with the "Birmingham School" of novelists in the 1930s to her interests in environmentalism, portraiture, photography, and the media, and her endlessly fascinating relationship with the writings of her contemporaries and predecessors.
