Dr Derek Ryan will be series editor for a new book series titled \u2018Virginia Woolf \u2013 Variations.<\/p>\n

Virginia Woolf\u2019s 1937 BBC radio broadcast \u2018Craftsmanship\u2019 memorably describes how words live \u2018[v]ariously and strangely, much as human beings live\u2019. This series,\u00a0Virginia Woolf: Variations<\/i>, explores the multiple ways in which Woolf\u2019s words speak to urgent critical debates of the twenty-first century. Covering topics as diverse as the \u2018Anthropocene\u2019, \u2018Capitalism\u2019, \u2018Racism\u2019, \u2018New Materialism\u2019, \u2018Transgenderism\u2019, \u2018Transnationalism\u2019, \u2018Health Humanities\u2019 and \u2018Biofiction\u2019, its volumes present innovative, agenda-setting research by international scholars into the lasting historical, political, ethical and theoretical significance of Woolf\u2019s modernist aesthetics. Whether revisiting familiar questions from a fresh perspective or shifting our focus to new concerns, they explore how Woolf\u2019s writing continues to incite provocative arguments about what it means to be human in the strangeness of a variously inhuman, posthuman or more-than-human world.<\/p>\n
