Woolf Across Cultures - Paperback

by Natalya Reinhold (Editor)

22 Papers from an international symposium in Moscow, 2003, that drew speakers from several countries to discuss Virginia Woolf in a global context, translation issues, and Woolf as a World Writer. This is an unprecedented look at a major writer in an international context.

This unique volume is based on presentations from the Virginia Woolf Across Cultures symposium held at Russian State University for the Humanities (Moscow) and Leo Tolstoy Estate Museum Yasnya Polyana (Tula Region) on June 27-29, 2003. Thirty scholars from Britain, Canada, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, and the United States explore Woolf's work from a wide variety of cross-cultural and language contexts, with a particular emphasis on translation.
