Woolf sightings are frequent, both online and in person, testifying to the fact that Virginia Woolf has long been an icon.
Here’s one put together by Lois Gilmore, professor of language and literature at Bucks County Community College in Newton, Pa.
She set up the display of Woolf items in the campus library in conjunction with an honors composition class focused on Woolf that she is teaching this fall.
It includes books by and about Woolf, a doll, note cards, jewelry, the T-shirt from the 2009 Annual International Conference on Virginia Woolf: Woolf and the City, and the program from the 28th Annual International Conference on Virginia Woolf: Woolf, Europe and Peace.
Fittingly enough, Lois included Virginia Woolf Icon (1999) by Brenda R. Silver among the books she selected.
