I have recently published an illustrated pamphlet, with contributions by Maggie and Astra Bloom, entitled 'The Sea Blazed Gold: Virginia Woolf in St Ives'. More information below: Virginia Woolf's childhood summer holidays spent at Talland House in St Ives not only gifted her vivid memories of the unique spirit of Cornwall ? its ancient lands, wild coastal paths and mesmerising light ? but also inspired her to write her masterpiece novel To the Lighthouse. Using excerpts from Woolf's diaries, letters and novels, interwoven with my own artworks, this pamphlet celebrates her time in St Ives and the impact it had on her life, both as a child and as a returning adult, drawn back by evocative family memories but also perhaps the mysterious power Cornwall has over those who fall under its spell. If you would like to order the pamphlet and live outside of the UK, please email Nash Robbins at Much Ado Books: shop at muchadobooks.com UK orders can be made via my website: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.nightbirdpress.com/product-page/the-sea-blazed-gold-virginia-woolf-in-st-ives-cornwall__;!!KGKeukY!3OCXDy0vmRtzNS_bn-h45RP8xJFg9zbi3zB2p8UdNSJDBWmlBDtI_7-JhdzTwPWE4Flq71RjbPc2pL4o5D-l3XwpCF8$ Thank you.

Some suggestions for Conversation courses--both Woolf and the Victorians. Victorians/Moderns: juxtaposition of Anand-Kipling, Bronte-Rhys, Disraeli-Engels, McEwan-Woolf. It's a neat structure for bringing authors of different cultures, countries, politics, history and periods into relief. Virginia Woolf and International Women Writers This course will focus on the novels of Virginia Woolf in juxtaposition with short readings from international modernist women writers: Ding Ling (China); Anita Desai and Sara Suleri (India/Pakistan); Christa Wolfe (Germany); Amelia Kahane-Carmon (Israel); Gertrude Stein and Djuna Barnes(America/France), Natalie Sarraute (France) among others. Woolf?s polemics, *A Room of One?s* *Own* and *Three Guineas,* will frame geopolitical and modernist issues such as women?s participation in education, work, fiction and government as well as decisions about war. *To the Lighthouse* will illuminate the domestic, ?Angel in the House; *Mrs. Dalloway* will introduce issues of gender that will take flight in the fantasy of *Orlando*; the great narrative experiment of *The Waves* will join with other modernist experiments. The way in which Woolf ?travels? to other countries will be framed by the theories of de Saussure, M.M. Bakhtin, Michel Foucault, Susan Stanford Friedman and James Clifford. ------- *English 793: Victorian Conversations* Syllabus This course presents British Victorian texts in conversation with modern or contemporary works, sometimes from different cultures.

To the Lighthouse will illuminate the domestic, ?Angel in the House; Mrs. Dalloway will introduce issues of gender that will take flight in the fantasy of Orlando; the great narrative experiment of The Waves will join with other modernist experiments. The way in which Woolf ?travels? to other countries will be framed by the theories of de Saussure, M.M. Bakhtin, Michel Foucault, Susan Stanford Friedman and James Clifford. ------- English 793: Victorian Conversations Syllabus This course presents British Victorian texts in conversation with modern or contemporary works, sometimes from different cultures.

Message-ID: Hello all, I?m heading to Germany next week for a symposium in Hannover (my first international travel since the pandemic!) and l?ll be in Berlin from October 1-6. I?m wondering if there are any Woolfians in Berlin who might want to meet up for coffee or lunch and talk about things Woolf? Or, if any of you know of interesting things to do ? exhibitions, bookshops, cafes, a favorite restaurant, etc.. I haven?t been to Berlin since 2010 and while I had a lot of favorites at the time, some are no longer around (except for one of my favorite yarn stores!). I?m sure there?s a lot new that would be great to explore. Thanks for any suggestions!

I'm glad to say there is now a whole conference dedicated to the intersections and resonances between Woolf and Beauvoir! This hybrid, bilingual conference will take place this week, on 29th-30th September, in Paris, but it will also be broadcast on Google Meet (and indeed, some people will be presenting their papers online). Here's the link to the poster and the programme (the latter of which you will find on the right-hand side of the page on your PC or if you scroll down on your phone): https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.univ-paris3.fr/virginia-woolf-simone-de-beauvoir-intersections-and-resonances-747267.kjsp__;!!KGKeukY!wNMfSMq449BeyFKwCESSk4ktY0tzwakcd42P7kmnhMcjslsy0l59jx2WfcvEouLwduUddQPW-LMc_IK7ReuLwv10kY4h$ To register for either in-person or online participation, you just have to email me at woolfbeauvoir22 at gmail.com and I'll add your name to the list and will provide you with the links to the Google Meet events.

Their 2014 edn of ?Orlando? (Collins Classics) has been brought to my attention. There is no index, no sub-title, no preface, no illustrations, no notes. There is a 5-page anonymous intro., which is Woolf-bashing to an extent I never thought to see these days, even in the UK. It?s difficult to pick out an example, since it is *all* terrible, but here goes: ?Woolf is a classic case of an artist whose creative expression was bad for their health. Had she abandoned writing in favour of an occupation that took her mind away from her obsessive thoughts, she would undoubtedly have lived a happier and more fulfilled life, but instead she became the author of her own undoing.? Also, the author can?t write: ?the Bloomsbury Set ... were all goldfish in the same bowl, looking out at the world around them with a similar artistic palette.? ?the Dreadnought Hoax ... was an elaborate plan to gain egress to the battleship? Woolf was an ?intelligentsium? (this is a non-existent word, which the author obviously thinks is the singular of ?intelligentsia? and is therefore cod-Latin; ?intelligentsia? comes from the Russian and has the same singular and plural, although I?m not sure how you could use it in the singular) Didn?t Tom Lehrer say that he liked to tour around, undoing all the good that Billy Graham had done?

Also, there's the brutal fact that the sleazy leering man strips the woman dressed in her inappropriate clothing naked in a metaphorical way by insulting and savaging her publicly. This encounter must have caused Virginia to cast away money of which she barely had enough to spend on the dresses required by George's fancy standards. And it's evocative of Bloomsbury rebellion in style and women's finances in Three Guineas. Thank you, Stuart, Gill, and Sarah!

Quite by chance, I?m reading Emily Cockayne?s fascinating book Rummage (Rummage by Emily Cockayne | Waterstones), about the British obsession with recycling and re-using (she takes her narrative from the 1990s back to the 1630s). It strikes me that, whilst Duckworth was snobbishly against rummaging, Virginia Woolf made it an art form, including buying books to re-bind for herself, or buying books and repurposing them as notebooks. Leonard Woolf was also famously thrifty and innovative with his tendency to re-use and repurpose. So as Vara says, Woolf was able to move out of George?s Kensington and into Bloomsbury where she found people after her own heart. Bella Woolf gets a mention in Cockayne?s book (pp. 86-87) for her article in Quiver (April 1919: ?The Quiver Army of Helpers?), where she appeals to the middle classes to send in pieces of cloth, velvet and fur to be used in occupational therapy projects by hospitalized WWI veterans. Cockayne quotes: ?We had bags made from a bishop?s and a general?s top hats, bags of historic interest!? Which perhaps leads nicely on to Miss La Trobe and her mock-up mockery of the great and good?
