The course will focus entirely on “Virginia Woolf.” What exactly “Virginia Woolf” means will also be one of the subjects of the course, and our method for finding out will be to read lots of texts written by Virginia Woolf, and one text titled Virginia Woolf. We will also attempt to place Woolf in a series of contexts—literary historical, biographical, cultural. We will do these things in order to think about what it means to think about a single literary author, what kinds of limitations such a focus offers, or challenges it provides.
