The Edinburgh Companion to Virginia Woolf and Transnational Perspectives considers the many steps of cultural mediation that have produced the varied versions of Woolf that readers and viewers encounter in national and transnational contexts. Organised in three parts, this international, multi-authored collection explores how these many Woolfs emerge in countries beyond Western Europe and North America, including Brazil, Lithuania, Japan, Turkey and the Philippines. The chapters in the first part explore how Woolf's works are edited, translated, produced and read in many languages, media, platforms and disciplines, both historically and contemporarily. The second part focuses on Woolf's legacy and on how Woolf lives on in the works of contemporary artists and cultural creatives. Given the importance of academics in mediating this reception, the third and final section reads Woolf through new critical perspectives, also focusing on the more recent reception she is enjoying on the web.
