ABOUT THE VIRGINIA WOOLF MISCELLANY:
The Virginia Woolf Miscellany is an independent publication that has been sponsored by Southern Connecticut University since 2003. The current editor is Vara Neverow neverowv1@southernct.edu. Founded in 1973 by J. J. Wilson, the publication was hosted by Sonoma State University for 30 years. The publication has always received financial support from the International Virginia Woolf Society and is available in print and in PDF format online. The Virginia Woolf Miscellany gladly accepts "truly miscellaneous" submissions in addition to the themed topics. To view the issues from Spring 2003 to the present online go to: https://virginiawoolfmiscellany.wordpress.com/
SUBMISSIONS FOR THE SPECIAL ISSUE :
This issue commemorates the advent of the Great War and its representation by Virginia Woolf and her friends and colleagues in Bloomsbury and beyond (even H. G. Wells, who wrote a 1914 pamphlet called The War that Will End War)—noncombatants, combatants, and conscientious objectors; writers of prose, poetry, and drama; fiction and memoirs; criticism, reviews, and social commentary; journalists, historians, philosophers, and humanists.
We seek submissions from a range of disciplines exploring the work done during the Great War and work that gauges the war's effect on a wide range of topics and perspectives: cultural, socio-economic, modernist, feminist, to name the most obvious. Articles on other topics (e.g., constructions of self and identity in wartime, and post-war aesthetics) are also welcome.
SUGGESTIONS FOR THE SPECIAL TOPIC:
Virginia Woolf, Bloomsbury, and the War to End War
Articles submitted on this topic will explore it from multinational and multicultural perspectives. Articles may include the following approaches:
• How did war-consciousness, for example, affect views of mass culture and consumerism?
• How has our vantage for the study of the Great War changed over a hundred years and more?
• How do cultural differences and national boundaries affect our 21st century-understanding of the experiences of war on the front and on the homefront?
• In a 21st-century world where national and cultural boundaries are blurred, what salient lessons can we discover in Woolf's own war-consciousness?
• Do contemporary shifts and developments in the communications paradigm affect our pedagogical methodology in regard to both Woolf and the Great War?
BOOK REVIEWS :
We are also seeking book reviews of scholarly texts that have been published within the past two years (2012 to present). Reviews should be no more than 1,000 words and should conform to the MLA guidelines listed below. Please contact the book review editor, Karen Levenback, at kllevenback@att.net, for more information.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
The submission deadline for our Spring 2017 issue will be 1 August 2016.
Please send Inquiries and submissions of not more than 2500 words electronically to kllevenback@att.net.
