[Vwoolf] CFP: Deadline extended to Oct. 31 for "Collecting Woolf/Hogarth Press"

[Catherine Hollis]

Dear Woolf Community,

Please note that the deadline for submissions to the upcoming issue of The
Virginia Woolf Miscellany with the theme of "Collecting Woolf/Hogarth
Press" is EXTENDED to October 31.

We are especially interested in essays that focus on personal or public
collections of Virginia Woolf / Hogarth Press books (as well as books from
the wider Bloomsbury group). We are also interested in short pieces that
focus on one particular book in a personal or public collection. What
stories do these books as material objects tell us about how they were
made, bound, bought, sold, or given?

Please send submissions or inquiries to Catherine Hollis,
hollisc at berkeley.edu

Thank you!!

*CFP: Collecting Virginia Woolf*

 Who collects Virginia Woolf and Hogarth Press books? When did the demand
for and economic value of Woolf’s and the Hogarth Press’s books begin in
the antiquarian book trade? Are Woolf and Hogarth Press books more or less
desirable than other modernist first editions? What are the emotional,
haptic, and educational values of early Woolf and Hogarth Press editions
for scholars, students, and common readers? What do the book collections of
Virginia and Leonard Woolf tell us about their lives as readers and
writers?



In addition to more formal academic essays, this issue of the *Miscellany *(in
collaboration with Blogging Woolf <https://bloggingwoolf.wordpress.com/> )
will also feature a special section called “Our Bookshelves, Ourselves.”
Our book collections tell stories about our reading lives and also about
our lives in the larger community of Woolf’s readers and scholars. In fact,
a history of our bookshelves might begin to tell a history of the IVWS
itself. If you are a “common book collector,” and your books tell a story
about your immersion in Woolf or Hogarth Press studies, tell us about it.
If you have interesting strategies or stories about acquiring collectible
editions of Woolf and Hogarth Press books on a budget, let us know!



Send submissions of 2000 words for longer essays and 500 words for “Our
Bookshelves” by October 31, 2018 to Catherine Hollis via
hollisc at berkeley.edu
