New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2010. Original, extensive and fully up-to-date with the latest research, The Edinburgh Companion to Virginia Woolf and the Arts explores Woolf's ideas about creativity and the nature of art. It places these ideas in their culturaland historical contexts, and in the context of the recent 'turn to the visual' in modernist studies, with its focus on visual technologies and the significance of material production. The newly researched chapters, written by internationally recognised authors, place Woolf's work in relation to the most influential aesthetic theories and artistic practices, including Bloomsbury aesthetics, art and race, painting (including the work of Woolf's sister Vanessa Bell), art galleries, theatre, music, dance, fashion, entertaining, garden design, book design, broadcasting, film and technology. No previous book concerned with Woolf and the arts has been so wide ranging or has paid such close attention to both public and domestic art forms.
