ReviewsThis collection is just what we need - a reminder of how Woolf's work circulates world-wide and the enormous impact it continues to have. From nearly all regions of the world, its contributors consider questions of translation, reception, and influence from delightfully wide-ranging perspectives while the editors place Woolf firmly in our ongoing conversations about location, globalisation and planetarity., The Edinburgh Companion to Virginia Woolf and Contemporary Global Literature is certainly a major addition to the rich, varied, and highly competitive field of Woolf scholarship, one which is bound to become an indispensable point of reference for any reader who wishes to consider the past and present relationships between the writer and the world.

SynopsisA collection of original essays exploring the diverse impact of Virginia Woolf's writing on contemporary global literature and culture., To 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.
