Dear Woolfians,

 I am pleased to announce that I published a new book (in French): Entre chiens et Woolf, une affaire de femmes (EUD, Essais), an essay in the form of a revisited biography (December 2020).
Here is the presentation on the publisher’s website: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://eud.u-bourgogne.fr/litterature/730-entre-chiens-et-woolf-9782364413900.html__;!!KGKeukY!i8vqlY0iPNcQbowXrVyfObFK9RtgSNQ37CVnUdUEQ-E57U8Y4_Q1FZaFi9EmbZBDNr4$  <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://eud.u-bourgogne.fr/litterature/730-entre-chiens-et-woolf-9782364413900.html__;!!KGKeukY!i8vqlY0iPNcQbowXrVyfObFK9RtgSNQ37CVnUdUEQ-E57U8Y4_Q1FZaFi9EmbZBDNr4$ > 


Between dogs and Woolf, a women's affair
Between dog and wolf, it is the time of the day hesitating between the last light of the evening and the nightfall, when you cannot distinguish a domestic animal from a wild beast. Between the dogs and Woolf 
(1882-1941), a unique relationship has developed. What place does the canine species occupy in the daily life and imagination of Virginia Woolf? As a little girl, she realizes that dogs offer her the possibility 
of communicating with the outside world and, even more, with her mother. Orphaned, she follows the path to freedom they trace before her. As an adult, she discovered the love of powerful women, such as 
Violet Dickinson, Vita Sackville-West and Ethel Smyth, all mistresses of chow-chow, greyhound and sheepdogs.
In Woolfian work, the one who is said to be man's best friend is very present. In 1905, Shag, the faithful companion, passed down to posterity: Virginia devoted one of her first articles to him in The Guardian, 
translated here into French for the first time. The object of this essay - a biography revisited - is to show that between the dogs and Virginia Woolf, it was also and above all a woman’s affair.
