If I might put in a plug for a book I have recently edited for Edinburgh Press, Virginia Woolf and Christian Culture, by Jane de Gay (whom I think is on this list). The book covers just this point, and is very readable without being in the least simplistic, so suitable for a common reader as well as those of an academic bent.

>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? Mark ScottCommon Reader From: Kristina K. Groover via Vwoolf Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2018 5:12 AMTo: vwoolf at lists.osu.edu Subject: [Vwoolf] Woolf and spirituality: essay collection (cfp) 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).  Inquiries are welcome.
Thank you!
