Description: A collection of original essays exploring the diverse impact of Virginia Woolf’s writing on contemporary global literature and culture Explores Woolf’s impact on primarily contemporary writers around the world whose work needs to be further recognised on the global stageTruly global in its approach: contributors represent or write about all regions of the world, including West and East Europe, the Middle East, sub-Saharan Africa, North and South America, East and South Asia, and the Pacific IslandsFeatures new literary trends, especially biofiction and other genres, including film, drama, and other fictionAddresses global issues like translation and transnational reception studiesTo capture the many Woolfian currents circulating around the world, the twenty-three chapters in this companion examine the global responses Woolf’s work has inspired and explore her worldwide influence. Authors address ways Woolf is received by writers, publishers, reading audiences and academics in countries around the world; how she is translated into multiple languages; and the transformation of her life into global contemporary biofiction.This collection is dialogic and comparative, incorporating both transnational and local tendencies insofar as they epitomize Woolf’s global reception and legacy. It contests the ‘centre’ and ‘periphery’ binary, offering new models for Woolf global studies and promoting cross-cultural understandings
