Background on the series
Virginia Woolf: Selected Papers (VWSP) is an open-access publication funded by the International Virginia Woolf Society and edited by organizers of the Annual Conference on Virginia Woolf (ACVW).
The open-access annual publication continues the Selected Papers/Proceedings of the Annual Conference on Virginia Woolf, a series that began in 1992 with the publication of its first volume, Virginia Woolf Miscellanies, which collected papers presented at the first annual conference on Woolf at Pace University in 1991.
The final print volume in the Selected Papers series was volume one and volume two of Virginia Woolf, Europe, and Peace, a collection of chapters that expand presentations given at the 28th annual conference at the University of Kent in 2018.
The open-access volumes of the VWSP will feature original scholarly papers delivered at Woolf conferences by international researchers, scholars, students, and common readers.
