After this year’s conference focused on Woolf and the City, it seems only fitting that the 20th Annual International Conference on Virginia Woolf should focus on “Virginia Woolf and the Natural World.”
It will be held June 3 to 6, 2010, at Georgetown College in Georgetown, Kentucky, which, organizers say, is “located on 104 acres of beautiful Kentucky bluegrass.” Georgetown is located 10 miles north of Lexington off I-75.
All proposals for papers, panels, workshops or readings will be considered, but organizers are especially interested in those relating to the conference theme. Topics might include:
- flowers
- rythms of nature
- Cornwal or St. Ives
- country homes and estates
- sailing
- nature as restorative
- nature as punitive
- Woolf and ecology
- Woolf and the environment
- gardens and gardeners
- seascapes
- farmers and farming
- hunting
- parks and zoos
- landscapes
- vacations
- hiking
- prehistory
- city versus nature
- animals — animality, animal imagery, domestic animals, animal pet names
- teaching Woolf and nature
A more complete call for papers will be available soon.
