The readings
The group looks forward to discussing two of Woolf’s many essays on Russian literature with you: “The Russian Point of View” and “The Novels of Turgenev”! Georgy will also share some translations that he’s been working on.
Read “The Russian Point of View” (1925) and “The Novels of Turgenev” (1933). You can find “The Russian Point of View” in Essays (vol. 4) and The Common Reader: First Series (1925). “The Novels of Turgenev” appears in Essays (vol. 6) and The Captain’s Death Bed and Other Essays (1950).
Please let the Salon Conspirators know if you have trouble accessing these texts. (Please note: the version of “The Novels of Turgenev” that appears on The Yale Review website differs substantially from the version noted above; The Yale Review version is included in an Appendix to Essays [vol. 6].)

Background on the Salon
The Salon Conspirators — Benjamin Hagen, Shilo McGiff, Amy Smith, and Drew Shannon — began the Woolf Salon Project in July 2020 to provide opportunities for conversation and conviviality among Woolf-interested scholars, students, and common readers during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
The last Woolf Salon No. 27: “Virginia Woolf Miscellany at 100” was held on Zoom on Friday, May 10.
