<div>From an ignorant ,non-scholar, common reader comes this question: Why
does “Woolf's sometimes withering critique of religion belie(s) what might be
termed a spiritual sensibility in her work.”? Does one have to follow a
religious creed to have a spiritual life? I don’t subscribe to any
religion or creed or encoded system of beliefs. But I do have what I feel
can be termed a spiritual life. Couldn’t Virginia Woolf have been
spiritual without being necessarily religious?</div>

<p>Dear Woolfians,</p>
<p>A reminder of this approaching deadline:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Abstracts are invited for a proposed collection of essays on Virginia Woolf
and spirituality.</p>
<p>Virginia Woolf's atheism and her sharp criticism of religion are
well-established in the critical literature. Yet Woolf's sometimes
withering critique of religion belies what might be termed a spiritual
sensibility in her work. This collection seeks to define the spiritual
in expansive and interdisciplinary ways that illuminate Woolf's writing, as
well as spirituality itself. Approaches drawing on theology, psychology,
philosophy, geography, and other disciplinary methods are welcome. Areas
of interest might include Woolf's treatment of sacred spaces; doctrinal or
ritualistic language; the soul; illness and its relationship to spiritual
experience; spiritual metaphors; spirituality and the body; re-enchantment;
writing as spiritual practice; etc. </p>
<p>Please submit abstracts of approximately 500 words by March 1, 2018 to
Kristina K. Groover, Professor of English, Appalachian State University
(<a>grooverkk@appstate.edu</a>). Inquiries are welcome.</p></blockquote>
<p>Thank you!<br></p>
