[Vwoolf] Woolf's "On Being Ill" revisited in the times of corona virus

[Madelyn Detloff]

Hello Everyone,
I hope you all are keeping as well as can be.  I’d like to second Jane’s recommendation of Elizabeth Outka’s new book.  I have been thinking about it quite a bit in the past few weeks.

Take care,
Madelyn

They've set up a blog called "Coronameron", where professors and students have been contributing bits about epidemics in the history of literature. You might enjoy some of the posts (https://www.arts.kuleuven.be/literatuurwetenschap/coronameron).

I tried to follow the advice that has circulated on the listserv lately and I foregrounded Woolf's own words rather than trying to burden the text with references and complicated commentary. It is, of course, just a popularization piece, so don't expect much novelty, but maybe it's a good invitation to revisit the text. Here's the link:
