Overview
Virginia Woolf's writing is alert to the politics of space, be it urban, domestic, textual or geopolitical. This is the first book to offer an in-depth treatment of Woolf's representations of space and place. Its eleven essays contribute not only to Woolf studies but also to emergent debates concerning modernism's relations to empire and geography. They offer innovative and interdisciplinary readings on topics such as London's imperial spaces, the spatial formations created by new technology, and the gendering of space.
