Virginia Woolf died 83 years ago today, on March 28, 1941. Lots has been written about her life — and her death. But today I want to suggest that we remember her by reading her work.

The Virginia Woolf Society of Great Britain is doing just that by organizing a new Woolf and Bloomsbury reading group for members only, which gives us one more reason to join that esteemed society.

The group will read the works of Virginia Woolf and some of her Bloomsbury contemporaries and friends to find connections, influences and similarities between them.

The meetings will be a mixture of face-to-face and online discussions, with the kick-off meeting to take place online on April 6.

The May meeting will be the first reading group, which will focus on a discussion of The Voyage Out.

You can be a part of it by joining the Virginia Woolf Society of Great Britain, starting at £25 (£10 students).
