Interdisciplinary / Multidisciplinary Woolf is inspired by Virginia Woolf’s own efforts to cross, undermine, and sometimes reassert disciplinary and other boundaries in her body of work.
Elizabeth Wright’s new biography sheds light on the life and writing of one of the foundational authors of twentieth-century British and European fiction and explodes some of the commonly held myths.
Encompassing a vast tract of her career as an essayist and especially lesser-known essays, this collection highlights Woolf’s unique capacity to blur the limits of fiction and essay-writing, and to transform the art of reading into a utopian practice. Writing in the present, she knew she was also accountable to the common reader to come and to the very genius of literature.
