Produktbeschreibung

'A very timely offering of exciting new material and new readings, this book is at the cutting edge of a new turn to theory and philosophy in Woolf studies that is flexible enough to encompass material, cultural and historical as well as archival and editorial aspects, bringing into productive dialogue previously separated critical camps.' Jane Goldman, University of Glasgow Reconsiders Virginia Woolf's work for the 21st-century focusing on coevolution, duality, and contradiction These 11 newly commissioned essays represent the evolution, or coevolution, of Woolf studies in the early 21st-century. Divided into 5 parts - Self and Identity; Language and Translation; Culture and Commodification; Human, Animal, and Nonhuman; and Genders, Sexualities, and Multiplicities - the essays represent the most recent scholarship on the subjective, provisional, and contingent nature of Woolf's work. The expert contributors consider unstable constructions of self and identity and language and translation from multiple angles, including shifting textualities, culture, and the marketplace, critical animal studies, and discourses that fracture and re-envision gender and sexuality. Key Features * Extends existing critical work on Woolf * Demonstrates original and diverse ways of reading this canonical author * Considers new configurations around Woolf's work in a postmillennial era Jeanne Dubino is Professor of English and Global Studies, Department of Cultural, Gender and Global Studies, Appalachian State University, North Carolina. Gill Lowe is Senior Lecturer in English at University Campus Suffolk, Department of Arts and Humanities, University Campus Suffolk. Vara Neverow is Professor of English and Women's Studies, English Department, Southern Connecticut State University. Kathryn Simpson is Senior Lecturer in English, Department of Humanities, Cardiff Metropolitan University.
