For this #ModWrite, I found myself dwelling on one sharp detail in The Years—a dancer’s tight shoes—and how Woolf uses that fleeting image to unravel the pretence and pressure of social hierarchy. Small moment, big resonance.

Virginia Woolf and an Aalto chair, by Man Ray.
09.11.2025 07:39 — 👍 13 🔁 2 💬 1 📌 1
Here is her most famous poem(translated by Jiaosheng Wang): 《如夢令·昨夜雨疏風驟》 昨夜雨疏風驟，濃睡不消殘酒。 試問卷簾人，卻道海棠依舊。 知否，知否？應是綠肥紅瘦。 Late night wind howled with light shower, Still hungover despite my heavy slumber. Ask for shades to be rolled from sill, Was told my HaiTang blossomed still. Oh honey! But don't you know? Tis the season reds ebb and greens flow.
Centuries before Virginia Woolf dreamed of a “room of one’s own,” Li Qingzhao(1084 – ca. 1155) already claimed hers in the Song Dynasty. While most women were bound to the household, she built a library of 4,000 volumes and wrote with a voice both lyrical and defiant. 1/2

Eliot Studies Annual editorial position
The T. S. Eliot Studies Annual is seeking a new editor. Now in its seventh volume, the Annual features the best new scholarship on the poet, dramatist, critic, and editor T. S. Eliot, published once a year by the International T. S. Eliot Society and Clemson University Press in association with Liverpool University Press. The Annual is available on JSTOR Books and University Scholarship Online, as well as Project Muse. Access is provided to all Eliot Society members on the Liverpool UP platform.
The new editor will join the existing team as associate editor for an initial term of six months starting January 1, 2026 and become a full-fledged co-editor with the publication of the current volume in July 2026. The total duration of service is three and a half years, through July 2029, and the new editor will assist in the selection of a second co-editor for 2027. The co-editors supervise each volume from the first call for papers through the referee and editorial process, production, and promotion/circulation. The position affords opportunities to develop the journal, impact Eliot scholarship, and build professional relationships. Record of scholarly publication necessary, but not editorial experience; learn on the job.
Send CV, writing sample, and letter of application stating qualifications and reason for interest to tseliot.studies.annual@gmail.com by Friday, Nov 21st, 2025.
