Registration for Woolf and the City, the 19th Annual International Conference on Virginia Woolf that will be held in New York City June 4 to 7, is now open, and conference organizers have planned some exciting events.
Some of the highlights, as posted so far, include:
- Plenary speakers Tamar Katz of Brown College, Anna Snaith of King’s College, author Rebecca Solnit and Jessica Berman
- A plenary panel with three who take inspiration from Woolf: Dr. Ruth Gruber, Susan Sellers and Kris Lundberg
- A performance of the Stephen Pelton Dance Theater with music by Princeton
- A visit to the Berg Collection of the New York Public Library, which has more Woolf manuscripts and letters than any other institution, including those in England.
- A staged reading of “Vita and Virginia” with Alison Fraser, which is a reprise of the well-received reading at the Grolier Club in the fall. Tickets are $15.
Early bird registration has been extended to April 20, and online registration is open until May 8. Click here to register and get answers to frequently asked questions.
And if you are looking for three graduate credits, consider taking the summer class taught by Anne Fernald during the week of the conference. It’s called “Woolf: Modern Women and the City.”
