I just stumbled across a saved email from two years ago that included a link to a 16-minute YouTube video that provides a photographic timeline of Virginia Woolf’s many looks, from youth to adult, from formal to playful.
The music accompanying the timeline, which I am belatedly sharing, is by Philip Glass, who also composed the music for the 2002 film “The Hours.”
Here is some news from the world of Virginia Woolf, as shared by the Virginia Woolf Society of Great Britain.
A Room of One’s Own is being dramatized on Radio 4 May 31 at 3 p.m. BST. A Room of One’s Own was recorded during lockdown with actors and production team all in rooms of their own. Listen to the broadcast here.
The society’s 2014 Annual Virginia Woolf Birthday Lecture 2014 by Hermione Lee, “To pin down the moment with date and season,” is the only one available online. View it on YouTube.
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.
