A paper presented by English professor Jeanette McVicker at the 26th Annual Conference on Virginia Woolf, held in June at Leeds Trinity University in Leeds, England, has just been accepted for publication in the peer-reviewed “Selected Papers” to be published in summer of 2017.
In her paper, “Virginia Woolf in Greece: ’Curious contrasts!’: Hellenism and Englishness,” Dr. McVicker explores the impact of archaeology and geology on British Hellenism and its effect on Woolf's development as an English writer.
McVicker has also recently been invited to serve on the editorial board for the refereed journal, Woolf Studies Annual, published by Pace University Press. She will be taking students to the 27th Annual Conference on Virginia Woolf next June at the University of Reading in England as part of her participation in the English department's Literary London study abroad experience. Information on the study abroad program is available online.
