Synopsis

Virginia Woolf and the Arts, a provocative collection of papers culled from the sixth annual conference on Virginia Woolf at Clemson University, explores new ground in Woolf studies. Papers in this volume cover diverse topics, allowing readers to go behind the lens with the directors of the award-winning Woolf documentary The War Within as well as to explore Woolf's connections to other artists such as Carrington, Rebecca West, and Ethel Smyth. Contributors also describe three exciting Virginia Woolf projects on CD-ROM, challenge Julia Kristeva's version of Woolf, examine Woolf's outrageous consumer politics, study her legacy to contemporary women playwrights, discuss connections between Woolf and chaos theory, explore Woolf's mysticism, and examine virtual space in Between the Acts. These and other essays in the volume combine to make Virginia Woolf and the Arts important for any serious Woolf scholar.
