[Vwoolf] favorite Woolf criticism?

[Matthew Cheney]

Hi Anne and Woolfians,

Lisa Tyler's "Cultural Conversations: Woolf’s 1927 Review Of Hemingway" 
in The Journal of Modern Periodical Studies 6.1 (2015, pp. 44–59) is 
quite readable and informative, and it could be useful in showing 
students how Woolf read a writer they might be familiar with from the era.

When I first discovered Sara Crangle's “Woolf’s Cesspoolage: On Waste 
and Resignation” (The Cambridge Quarterly, 40.1, 2011, pp. 1–20) it blew 
my mind because if you'd told me before I read it that it was possible 
to write an informative, thoughtful essay about Woolf and waste 
(toilets!), I'd have been perhaps a bit doubtful. But I got to the end 
and my primary complaint was that it wasn't longer!

Speaking of longer, I have to mention one you probably would never use 
in an undergrad course, but I just adore it for the way it deepens our 
knowledge of Woolf in the late 'teens/early 'twenties: "Virginia Woolf’s 
Research for Empire and Commerce in Africa (Leonard Woolf, 1920)" by 
Michèle Barrett, Woolf Studies Annual 19 (2013) pp. 83-122.

Cheers,
Matt Cheney
