Summary

Thirty-five papers selected from the 1998 conference analyze and re-explore communities of which Virginia Woolf was a part -- for example, Female Modernists, artists, lesbian and gay, communities formed by letter writing, British, and pacifist. Highlights include artists' conversations (reproduced) on their communion with Woolf, discussion and critique of the film Paris Was a Woman, and thoughts on the conversations that take place while reading and teaching Woolf; Woolf and technology; the letters she received in response to Three Guineas; Woolf through the lens of trauma theory; and the impact of her work on Spanish-American women writers.
