I can’t take credit for these non-fiction Woolf sightings. That goes to Benjamin Hagen, president of the International Virginia Woolf Society, who posted them on Facebook.
From Ann Patchett
First comes Ann Patchett’s “Eudora Welty: An Introduction,” in which Patchett describes
her encounters with Welty in writing and in person.
It begins with Woolf and with Welty’s foreword to To the Lighthouse (1927) and leads into a reflection on first encounters and later returns.
The piece is included in These Precious Days, a 2021 collection of Patchett’s essays.
From Brian Dillon
Second is critic and essayist Brian Dillon’s “Vagueness” in Affinities, just out in paperback (2023), which includes a chapter on the proto-modernist 
photographs of Julia Margaret Cameron, Woolf’s Victorian great-aunt.
Hagen wrote that he was “Surprised to find this lengthy essay on Julia Margaret Cameron, which begins with her stunning photograph of Julia Jackson (later Stephen), Virginia Woolf’s mother. Woolf gets some attention here too.”
Thanks for being on the lookout, Ben.
Ben Hagen’s Aug. 6, 2023, Woolf sightings Facebook post, complete with photos of pertinent pages from the two books he mentions.
