Approaches Woolf’s writing from a variety of perspectives and disciplines, including modernism, post–colonialism, queer theory, animal studies, digital humanities, and the law
Explores the multiple trajectories Woolf’s work travels around the world, from the Bloomsbury Group, and the Hogarth Press to India and Latin America
Situates Woolf studies at the vanguard of contemporary literature scholarship and the new modernist studies
