Synopsis

Contradictory Woolf is a collection of essays selected from approximately 200 papers presented at the 21st Annual International Conference on Virginia Woolf, hosted by the University of Glasgow. The theme of contradiction in Woolf's writing, including her use of the word 'but', is widely explored in relation to auto/biography, art, philosophy, cognitive science, sexuality, animality, class, mathematics, translation, annotation, poetry, and war. Among the essays collected in this volume are the five keynote addresses―by Judith Allen, Suzanne Bellamy, Marina Warner, Patricia Waugh, and Michael Whitworth―as well as a preface by Jane Goldman and an introduction by the editors.
