Why does Virginia Woolf describe her memories as 'little corks that mark a sunken net'? My research rabbit hole regarding C19th Cornish fishing nets led to an interesting discovery...

She was profoundly interested in history and alternative genealogies of literary history. We can’t help but think she’d be thrilled by this ongoing work at @contingent-mag.bsky.social.
Despite her contemporary status as a major modernist, Woolf’s own career was one of an Insider / Outsider and of academic adjacency. She thought a great deal about Common Readers and of criticism written off the lawns of Oxbridge. She turned down both honorary degrees and literary awards.
We're glad you liked our 2024 book list. We've done one every year we've been publishing. It's a lot of work done by contingent historians, work that's often not rewarded professionally even as people in the profession consume it. See all of our book and article lists here. 🗃️

Did you know that the IVWS has a blog where we publish short form essays and related writings on Woolf? Here’s one of our first entries —this beautiful essay from Catherine Paul on Woolf, chronic illness and quilting.

A bit late to join the 'starter pack' trend, but as we're gradually migrating here, it's the perfect time to start connecting with both old and new friends through this list of literary societies. Follow them for their latest updates!

Remember our extended deadline for conference abstracts!

And grad students, we welcome you - so tell us about your dissertation and scholarship, whether or not it sparked the fury of the worst parts of internet culture. 😉

Put together a wee modernism/contemporary lit Starter Pack (because there simply wasn't not enough research/teaching prep/admin/housework to keep me occupied)

DM me if I've made any glaring omissions or besmirched your good name by implying that you're a modernist
