Beth Rigel Daugherty is working on a sequel to Virginia Woolf’s Apprenticeship: Becoming an Essayist for Edinburgh University Press, and if you have taught Woolf’s essays, she wants to hear from you.

Her request and questions

Share your thoughts about teaching and learning from Virginia Woolf’s essays.

I am particularly interested in how Woolf’s essays affect and influence teachers. – Beth Rigel Daughterty

Beth’s sequel looks at Woolf’s essays through a pedagogical lens. Here are the questions she poses:

• What have Woolf’s essays taught you about the process of learning and/or the process of teaching?
• What does she say to you about how and why we educate?
• How do you use Woolf’s essays in your teaching, whether formal or informal, inside or outside the academy?
• Would you be willing to share your thoughts with me (Beth) by filling out a survey or talking with me on Zoom?

Details and deadline

More details — her  rationale and goal, eight survey questions, permission forms, and contact information — can be found at this link. Beth asks that respondents fill out this Google Form or email answers to woolfessaysurvey@gmail.com, preferably by August 31, 2027.

Ever gracious, Beth adds, “Thank you so much for considering my request.”
