Virginia Woolf and Animal Studies
Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is renowned as a British modernist writer who, like other modernists, had a keen interest in nonhuman animals. Humans’ fellow species appear in myriad ways throughout Woolf’s writing, both in her published and unpublished work. Reading Woolf is, in fact, like taking a course in Animal Studies! I will look at various parts of her works and at the same time introduce a few of the different dimensions of Animal Studies.
