*Virginia Woolf's Jacob's Room: Centenary Readathon *
Thursday 27 October @VWoolf100
100 years to the day from the novel's first publication, we invite readers
of *Jacob's Room* to join in a collective reappraisal of this text. Woolf's
*Jacob's* *Room* is one of the key works of modernism’s *annus mirabilis *of
1922, but still attracts much less attention than T. S. Eliot’s *The Waste
Land* or James Joyce’s *Ulysses*. Whether reading the novel for the first
time or returning to it, we encourage students, scholars, and, in Woolf’s
phrase, ‘common readers’ to dive into this short book (or a portion of it)
on 27th October and tweet thoughts and reflections to @VWoolf100 with the
hashtag #JacobsRoom100. What fresh light can today’s world shed on Jacob’s
Room and how can this novel speak to us today?


With best wishes,

Rachel Crossland and Alice Wood
