<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 1.5pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="color:black">Virginia Woolf’s 1926 essay “On Being Ill” questions why
illness has failed to feature as a prime theme of literature, alongside love,
battle, and jealousy. This issue of VWM seeks contributions on Woolf’s exploration
of illness in her life and work, as a paradigm for reexamining modernist
literature and art, and its influence on subsequent writers. Topics might
include questions such as: How does the literature of illness challenge or
enhance theories of trauma, narrative ethics, and disability studies? How does
Woolf’s focus on the politics and aesthetics of the ill body inform our
understanding of the period, including in relation to Victorian values, in
relation to the 1918-19 flu pandemic, and in relation to mechanized modernity’s
drive toward professionalization and specialization? How has the contemporary
literary landscape changed to contribute to the popularity of Woolf’s
focus—from the success of the medical humanities to the proliferation of
autopathographies? What might be inspiring or potentially problematic in
Woolf’s theory of illness as a site for creative rebellion?</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black"></span></p>
