The Edinburgh Companion to Virginia Woolf and the Arts is the most
authoritative and up-to-date guide to Virginia Woolf's artistic
influences and associations. In original, extensive and newly
researched chapters by internationally recognised authors, the
Companion explores Woolf's ideas about creativity and the nature of
art in the context of the recent 'turn to the visual' in modernist
studies with its focus on visual technologies and the significance
of material production. The in-depth chapters place Woolf's work in
relation to the most influential aesthetic theories and artistic
practices, including Bloomsbury aesthetics, art and race, Vanessa
Bell and painting, art galleries, theatre, music, dance, fashion,
entertaining, garden and book design, broadcasting, film, and
photography. No previous book concerned with Woolf and the arts has
been so wide ranging or has paid such close attention to both
public and domestic art forms. Illustrated with 16 colour as well
as 39 black and white illustrations and with guides to further
reading, the Companion will be an essential reference work for
scholars, students and the general public. Key Features * An
