Edinburgh Companion to Virginia Woolf and the Arts

Maggie Humm is an Emeritus Professor whose work on Woolf includes Feminism and Film; Modernist Women and Visual Cultures: Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell, Photography and Cinema; Snapshots of Bloomsbury: The Private Lives of Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell; The Edinburgh Companion to Virginia Woolf and the Arts and The Bloomsbury Photographs. Her novel Talland House takes Lily Briscoe from To the Lighthouse, telling her life outside Woolf’s novel, and Lily solves the mystery of Mrs Ramsay’s sudden death. Among other prizes, the novel won ‘Women’s Fiction’ International Impact Awards. Radical Woman: Gwen John & Rodin, about the artist Gwen John’s affair with Rodin, was a finalist in the American Writing Awards and won the Bookfest Awards for Women’s Historical Fiction.

[A] major contribution to Woolf studies and one which I found invaluable as a source of reference.
