Dear Woolfians,

Please see the cfp below 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!
