Virginia Woolf's 1937 BBC radio broadcast 'Craftsmanship' memorably describes how words live '[v]ariously and strangely, much as human beings live'. This series, Virginia Woolf - Variations, explores the multiple ways in which Woolf's words speak to urgent critical debates of the twenty-first century. Covering topics as diverse as the 'Anthropocene', 'Capitalism', 'Racism', 'New Materialism', 'Transgenderism', 'Transnationalism', 'Health Humanities' and 'Biofiction', its volumes present innovative, agenda-setting research by international scholars into the lasting historical, political, ethical and theoretical significance of Woolf's modernist aesthetics. Whether revisiting familiar questions from a fresh perspective or shifting our focus to new concerns, they explore how Woolf's 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.
