Once again, Literature Cambridge is offering a wide array of online courses featuring Virginia Woolf and other renowned women writers who were her contemporaries. Read on for the details.
Women Writers Season
Go online to study a range of Woolf’s wonderful contemporaries. Authors on the list include Elizabeth Bowen, Winifred Holtby, Zora Neale Hurston, Rosamund Lehmann, Katherine Mansfield, Vita Sackville West, and many others — a full dozen in all.
The season focuses on writers in English, with most, but not all, based in Britain. Many of the authors included are not read widely today.
This is a great opportunity to discover some wonderful writers, and to study them with leading scholars.
Each online study session has a live lecture with a leading scholar and seminar on Zoom.
The season runs from June to September 2021. Get the details.
Virginia Woolf Season

The first season which explored Woolf’s major works in consecutive order, began in October 2020 with The Voyage Out (1915) and ran through June of this year with Between the Acts (1941).
Each two-hour class via Zoom was taught by a Woolf expert from the UK and featured a one-hour original lecture followed by a question and answer session.
