Summer courses in Cambridge 2018
Virginia Woolf and Politics
1-6 July 2018, Wolfson College, Cambridge
Immerse yourself for a week in the books and ideas of Virginia Woolf. In 2018, we will learn more about Woolf’s interest in the politics of her time: the First World War, the education of women, the rise of the Labour Party. We will also explore her interest in pacifism and human rights, and her thoughts on gender and on families.
To be studied: A Room of One’s Own, Three Guineas, Orlando, The Years and selected essays.
No prior knowledge is assumed; just an interest in Woolf and a love of reading. Whether you know the politics of Woolf’s period well, or are coming to it for the first time, this course will deepen your understanding of Woolf’s wonderful writing.
