About this book
Reviews
"Trespassing Boundaries is an excellent collection of insightful and significant essays. Edited by the distinguished scholar-critics Kathryn N. Benzel and Ruth Hoberman - who themselves have contributed invaluable essays - this splendid volume will point the way to a reconsideration of Woolf's work in the genre of short fiction." - Daniel R. Schwarz, Professor of English and Stephen H. Weiss Presidential Fellow, Cornell University
"Trespassing Boundaries is a very welcome addition to Virginia Woolf studies and to narrative theory. The ten essays offer rich explorations from diverse viewpoints of Woolf's wonderful and provocative experiments in short fiction. Woolf scholars and narrative theorists will be consulting these essays for many years to come." - James Phelan, author of Living to Tell about It: A Rhetoric and Ethics of Character Narration and editor of Narrative
"Scholars will appreciate the detailed readings of these short pieces and the thoughtful use of varied critical lenses to illuminate these often undervalued pieces. Each essay brings new insights and useful information which will inspire critics to see the stories afresh. This volume will be useful, too, for anyone who teaches Woolf. It provides new ways to consider the frequently anthologized pieces - 'Kew Gardens' and 'Mark on the Wall' for example - but more imoprtantly, it will inspire many to include more of Woolf's shorter works in their syllabi not as examples of warm-ups for hergreat novels, but as complex, multivalent and engaging works in their own right." - Danell Jones, University of Montana, Bozeman
