A new short video about Virginia Woolf was recently published on YouTube by TED-Ed. Titled “Why should you read Virginia Woolf?” it is narrated by Iseult Gillesipe from the University of Wisconson-Madison.
The video details Woolf’s early life and highlights several of her novels. Check it out on YouTube or view it below.
If you have 16 minutes and an interest in Virginia Woolf’s life and writing — and you must or you wouldn’t be visiting this blog — take a look at this Virginia Woolf timeline in photographs. It’s set to Phillip Glass music and it will make you recall The Hours.
Hawk’s assessment? “Woolf could probably take them both.”
The video, which begins with the line “Words… why do we need them?” is part of a quirky series of promotional videos produced by the college titled “Beneath the Beech.”
“I think they show how approachable and engaged Kenyon professors are with the students,” Beech said.
