<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Dear Woolf Community,<br><br></div>Please consider writing an article for an upcoming themed issue of the Virginia Woolf Miscellany on "Collecting Woolf." We're hoping to gather both traditional scholarly articles on collecting Virginia Woolf and Hogarth Press books, as well as shorter pieces about our own collections (see below). Please share widely!</div><div><br></div><div>****************************<br></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><b>CFP: Virginia Woolf Miscellany, special themed issue, "Collecting Woolf"<br></b></div><div><b>

Virginia Woolf and Hogarth Press books? When did the demand for and economic
value of Woolf’s and the Hogarth Press’s books begin in the antiquarian book
trade? Are Woolf and Hogarth Press books more or less desirable than other
modernist first editions? What are the emotional, haptic, and educational
values of early Woolf and Hogarth Press editions for scholars, students, and
common readers? What do the book collections of Virginia and Leonard Woolf tell
us about their lives as readers and writers? </span></p>

<p class="gmail-MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">In addition to
more formal academic essays, this issue of the <i>Miscellany </i>(in collaboration with <a href="https://bloggingwoolf.wordpress.com/">Blogging Woolf</a> ) will also feature a special section called “Our
Bookshelves, Ourselves.” Our book collections tell stories about our reading
lives and also about our lives in the larger community of Woolf’s readers and
scholars. In fact, a history of our bookshelves might begin to tell a history
of the IVWS itself. If you are a “common book collector,” and your books tell a
story about your immersion in Woolf or Hogarth Press studies, tell us about it.
If you have interesting strategies or stories about acquiring collectible
editions of Woolf and Hogarth Press books on a budget, let us know!</span></p>
