Get ready to celebrate Dalloway Day on two days, June 16 and 19. And thanks to a variety of digital events being planned, you can join the celebrations of Woolfians across the pond without leaving your home.

Go live from Hatchards with the VW Society of Great Britain

This year’s Dalloway Day will be a Zoom event on Saturday, June 19, presented live from Hatchards, Piccadilly, an afternoon celebrating Virginia Woolf’s “Mrs Dalloway’s Party” and the art of the short story past and present.

The theme is “Virginia Woolf’s Short Stories” and speakers include Karina Jacubowicz, organizer of the ‘Virginia Woolf Podcast’ for Literature Cambridge, Woolf scholar and novelist Maggie Humm, and poet Cathy Galvin of the Word Factory, which ‘support[s] the next generation of short story writers’.

Enjoy artwork shared by Louisa Albani

Ahead of #DallowayDay celebrations next week, I am sharing artworks inspired by #VirginiaWoolf‘s ‘The London Scene: Oxford Street Tide’ in which she takes on the role of flaneuse, as she responds to the fragmented & sensory experience of the modern city. https://t.co/2zk2AMgnz2 pic.twitter.com/QQPWaRV9KK
