Reviews

These rich, intensive and impressive pieces of work force us to recognise how much more radical and prophetic Virginia Woolf's work really is than has been understood. This excellent collection explores how Woolf anticipated present concerns, setting humans against the planet's deep history and entangled within vast nonhuman forces that haunt our pretensions and threaten disaster. --Louise Westling, University of Oregon This valuable collection assesses Woolf's potential to address the environmental crisis of the Anthropocene through her distinct feminist modernism. Essays from both veteran and more recent critics address useful angles, including climate change, extraction of resources, materialist visions of extinction, and new sources for interspecies, planetary communication and collaboration. --Bonnie Kime Scott, San Diego State University
