Animal Spirits: a musical opera about John Maynard Keynes and the Bloomsbury Group. Do join us for wonderful songs and a fascinating evening. 20 March 2024, 5:30PM UK time. Zoom Composer David Thorne Scott will discuss the new musical opera Animal Spirits, for which he is writing the book, music and lyrics. The subject of the musical opera is economist and Bloomsbury Group member John Maynard Keynes. David will present a synopsis, read scenes, and play songs from the show. John Maynard Keynes developed groundbreaking economic theories in a turbulent time. Animal Spirits shows how Keynes's friendships and love affairs with brilliant artists and free-spirited bohemians unlocked his genius and changed the world. David is Professor of Voice at Berklee College of Music, where he teaches jazz, classical and contemporary styles. He is also a singer and songwriter who 'explores the intersection of Jazz and Americana, city and country, instrumentation and lyrics to create lush compositions and covers that are unifying, and healing, in their beauty' (Eponymous Review). This event is for members of the Virginia Woolf Society of Great Britain only. They will have received an email about booking details.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Todd & all, A similar phenomenon to the "parallel novel" is called "spinoff" in Birgit Spengler's 2015 book Literary Spinoffs and "minor character elaboration" in Jeremy Rosen's 2016 Minor Characters Have Their Day. I've also encountered the notion of "paraquel" in connection to Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea (which is usually just considered a prequel). Famous Woolf examples (aside from The Hours) are "Mr Dalloway" by Robin Lippincott and Talland House by Maggie Humm. But there are also of course Woolf biofictions, of which there are myriads in the last few decades. Monica Latham touches upon some 25 examples (or thereabouts) in her 2021 book on the topic. But she has worked on many others since then, not only in English but also in French. Marie-Laure Rigeade has also worked on this topic (see her co-edited volume with Latham on Recycling Woolf). There's a scholar (Elisabetta Varalda) working on Woolf bioficfions in Italy too, and so on. (For those interested, Varalda will give a talk on Woolf graphic biofictions online tomorrow at Goldsmiths, here's the link: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://sites.gold.ac.uk/comparative-literature/the-auto-bio-fiction-series-maaheen-ahmed-and-elisabetta-varalda/__;!!KGKeukY!zVyF7RUSUw2hDFwfzZ7_zlgkDhuL7JCk4Iw3MvliY72jqKbhu6ZyqAUMbPaHHLQWJ30Y-k2TFzTakCTsj05Y7lSFi93jLQ$ ) There's even a "Virginia Wolf" [sic] children's book, a real jewel with lovely illustrations and written with much humour. So it all depends on how much one wants to broaden the definition of fan fiction. This semester I'm teaching a class on "Afterlives of the Canon", which includes some examples on Woolf, but I'm super curious about what else people come up with, there should definitely be a list/ bibliography of all these ramifications. Perhaps material for a Woolf Salon?

Hi Todd & all, A similar phenomenon to the "parallel novel" is called "spinoff" in Birgit Spengler's 2015 book Literary Spinoffs and "minor character elaboration" in Jeremy Rosen's 2016 Minor Characters Have Hi Todd & all, A similar phenomenon to the "parallel novel" is called "spinoff" in Birgit Spengler's 2015 book Literary Spinoffs and "minor character elaboration" in Jeremy Rosen's 2016 Minor Characters Have Their Day. I've also encountered the notion of "paraquel" in connection to Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea (which is usually just considered a prequel). Famous Woolf examples (aside from The Hours) are "Mr Dalloway" by Robin Lippincott and Talland House by Maggie Humm. But there are also of course Woolf biofictions, of which there are myriads in the last few decades. Monica Latham touches upon some 25 examples (or thereabouts) in her 2021 book on the topic. But she has worked on many others since then, not only in English but also in French. Marie-Laure Rigeade has also worked on this topic (see her co-edited volume with Latham on Recycling Woolf). There's a scholar (Elisabetta Varalda) working on Woolf bioficfions in Italy too, and so on. (For those interested, Varalda will give a talk on Woolf graphic biofictions online tomorrow at Goldsmiths, here's the link: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://sites.gold.ac.uk/comparative-literature/the-auto-bio-fiction-series-maaheen-ahmed-and-elisabetta-varalda/__;!!KGKeukY!zKJyhmI4Vjf1ojWQDtcvCgPjwS24OCMFCaioyRm6K4E9cpdax7KphclQ-fGPtllY4u9-paJSYpMsa2eKaEryGA$ ) There's even a "Virginia Wolf" [sic] children's book, a real jewel with lovely illustrations and written with much humour. So it all depends on how much one wants to broaden the definition of fan fiction. This semester I'm teaching a class on "Afterlives of the Canon", which includes some examples on Woolf, but I'm super curious about what else people come up with, there should definitely be a list/ bibliography of all these ramifications.

Hi again, Leslie, and thanks. I must say I have never given much thought to the genre quesion per se. Two Seasons was the fruit of a personal near-obsession. Following my first reading of To the Lighthouse decades ago, I felt what would become an abiding curiosity concerning Lily Briscoe's future. After a long university career writing critically about literature and cinema, I at last found myself able to return in a different manner that that of the critic, allowing Lily and the remaining Ramsays and friends to grow and change, first five years after the events of To the Lighthouse ("Autumn") and then another five ("Spring"). For the new writer I myself had become, I adopted the very mild pseudonym of J.D. Engle (instead of John Engle). Anyway, Leslie, while that perhaps doesn't help much, good luck with your research on the genre issue. I truly hope you enjoy Two Seasons and would love to hear your reactions.

Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2024 01:50:18 +0000 Subject: [Vwoolf] A Woolf sighting in the New York Times Book Review Message-ID: Greetings, Tina Brown's review of Ramie Targoff's Shakespeare's Sisters begins with this paragraph: "Judith Shakespeare, Virginia Woolf?s imaginary sister of the Bard, was for years the accepted portrait of the nonexistent writer of Renaissance England. In ?A Room of One?s Own,? her seminal feminist essay, Woolf concluded that any glimmer of female creativity in Shakespeare?s time would have been expunged by a pinched life as a breeding machine of children who so often died, disallowed opinions of her own. Had any woman survived these conditions, wrote Woolf, 'whatever she had written would have been twisted and deformed, issued from a strained and morbid imagination.'? The subsequent paragraph is articulated as follows: "Wrong, says the Renaissance scholar Ramie Targoff in ?Shakespeare?s Sisters,? her fascinating excavation of four intellectual powerhouse women of the 16th and early 17th centuries.

In ?A Room of One?s Own,? her seminal feminist essay, Woolf concluded that any glimmer of female creativity in Shakespeare?s time would have been expunged by a pinched life as a breeding machine of children who so often died, disallowed opinions of her own. Had any woman survived these conditions, wrote Woolf, 'whatever she had written would have been twisted and deformed, issued from a strained and morbid imagination.'? The subsequent paragraph is articulated as follows: "Wrong, says the Renaissance scholar Ramie Targoff in ?Shakespeare?s Sisters,? her fascinating excavation of four intellectual powerhouse women of the 16th and early 17th centuries. Woolf had just not dug deep enough to find Mary Sidney?s sublime translations, Aemilia Lanyer?s groundbreaking poems or Elizabeth Cary?s subversive dramas. She dismissed the fourth, the great diarist Anne Clifford, as ?trivial,? says Targoff ? a view not shared by Anne?s distant relative Vita Sackville-West when she discovered and lovingly edited the diaries in 1923."

It's paired with another one-act, "Brain Hemingway" about a woman writer tortured by her inner Hemingway. (These are clearly not for everyone, but sound very funny to me--maybe to some of you, too.) Run is 5/2-5/19, Thu, Fri, Sat at 7; Sun at 3. Yours, Anne https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pesptpm/11427652/1249724__;!!KGKeukY!3lz0ahghKHr7wrH_ymc3JfBFJK2iOsDokacCQR69IYO3dSpO59SX3tfTnnCtzctHti-430290Qk8Gd9r6Oc50Is$ Perfect for anyone fascinated with contemporary witchery and Halloween, Modern Witches is a solo performance about Virginia Woolf, queer relationship anxiety, and, of course, witchcraft. From the storefront of a mystic shop to the rabbit hole of #WitchTok, actress Kate struggles to create the perfect self-tape audition as Virginia Woolf, though she tries to bolster her performance with various magical ingredients. She unravels, revealing that she is frozen in the midst of running away from her totally normal, healthy relationship ? and does not understand why. From a state of deep desperation, Kate accidentally summons the ghost of Virginia Woolf, whose bold approach to life helps her to work through the root of her fear. Katie Kopajtic is a writer, actor and producer whose work spans theatre, film and digital publication. Anne E.

I was so pre-occupied that I forgot to set a meeting for March. I have actually finished and sent off the proposal for my book on Woolf?s flowers, so now have some moments to reconvene. How about Friday, April 5th? (I think Woolf Salon has been postponed a bit). I?ve set up a zoom meeting for the usual time: 11:00 PDT, which is 2:00 in NYC and 7:00 pm in London zone. Happy start of spring!
