On day one of #Woolf2018 at the University of Kent in Canterbury there were lots of choices. The program for the 28th Annual International Conference on Virginia Woolf offers six different panels of experts in the morning and another six in the afternoon. I believe I chose well.

Here are the two excellent panels I picked Thursday, along with twitter reports on them, as well as the keynote lecture from Claire Davison of the Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris 3 on “European Peace in Pieces? Woolf, Music and the Radiophonic Imagination.”

Apologies for not having the energy to write more and for such dim photos. The rooms in which the panels were held were dimly lit to allow for slides.

Woolfian Artists
