We’re turning our sights toward MLA in January with two IVWS sponsored panels this year. Will we see you there? #VirginiaWoolf

We have some ideas about how you might spend your #ModWrite today—

She was profoundly interested in history and alternative genealogies of literary history. We can’t help but think she’d be thrilled by this ongoing work at @contingent-mag.bsky.social.

Despite her contemporary status as a major modernist, Woolf’s own career was one of an Insider / Outsider and of academic adjacency. She thought a great deal about Common Readers and of criticism written off the lawns of Oxbridge. She turned down both honorary degrees and literary awards.

BEST DAY—the 2024 NTT lit studies books & articles list pub day! Please admire, read, share, cite, borrow/buy books, and, of course, organize as you can to create better working conditions for ALL scholars. Thanks as always to @erinbartram.bsky.social & pls support @contingent-mag.bsky.social! 🎉📚💪
