Virginia Woolf, a rock star writer of the 1920’s literary scene—and feminist icon--even made it to the cover of TIME magazine in the 1930s. Four of her novels still make it to the UK top 100 every year and her book-length essay, A Room of One’s Own, has never been out of print. The gender-bending classic, Orlando, romps across history; Mrs. Dalloway lights up a day in London, and so on. The course will include hosting Mrs. Dalloway’s elegant party as well as encountering cinematic treats. Explore a variety of novels and essays with a Woolf expert and learn why this writer compels such attention! This course also counts toward the GSS major.
