Reconsiders Virginia Woolf's work for the 21st century focusing on
coevolution, duality and contradiction. These eleven newly
commissioned essays represent the evolution, or coevolution, of
Woolf studies in the early twenty-first century. Divided into five
parts. Self and Identity; Language and Translation; Culture and
Commodification; Human, Animal and Nonhuman; and Genders,
Sexualities and Multiplicities, the essays represent the most
recent scholarship on the subjective, provisional, and contingent
nature of Woolf's work. The expert contributors consider unstable
constructions of self and identity, and language and translation
from multiple angles, including shifting textualities, culture and
the marketplace, critical animal studies, and discourses that
fracture and revise gender and sexuality. Key Features: - Extends
existing critical work that considers a multiplicity of
constructions of Virginia Woolf - Demonstrates original and diverse
ways of reading this canonical (and contradictory) author -
Explores multiple meanings related to the conjoined, fused,
connected and evolving nature of Woolf studies - Considers new
configurations, new pairings, and new ways of placing ideas in
tension around Woolf's work for a postmodern, postmillennial era
