Rooms in Woolf’s Short Fiction
Rooms in the Short Fiction of Virginia Woolf with Natasha Periyan
Join us to study ‘A Society’, ‘A Women’s College from the Outside’ and other short stories by Woolf. Why are rooms so important in Woolf’s thinking about women and education in these works?
In this lecture, Natasha Periyan will explore how Woolf's short stories reflect on rooms as spaces for the development of women's professional and sexual identities. Woolf thinks about rooms as a place in which communities for women can be developed. We will learn about the educational and literary contexts which inform the gender and sexual politics of these stories.
You can find the stories in: Woolf, A Haunted House and Other Stories, ed. Susan Dick (Vintage, 2003) OR Woolf, Kew Gardens and Other Stories, ed. Bryony Randall (Oxford World’s Classics).
Live online lecture and seminar with Natasha Periyan, Research Fellow, University of London.
