Dear Woolfians,
A reminder of this approaching deadline:
Abstracts are invited for a proposed collection of essays on
Virginia Woolf and spirituality.
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.
Please submit abstracts of approximately 500 words by March 1, 2018
to Kristina K. Groover, Professor of English, Appalachian State
University (grooverkk at appstate.edu <mailto:grooverkk at appstate.edu>).
Inquiries are welcome.
Thank you!
