EN51014 Virginia Woolf

Module Organiser: Dr James Stewart

  1. 1. Discipline-specific skills
    • Awareness of Woolf’s singular contributions to an emergent body of feminist and modernist theory
    • Keying of those contributions to major cultural developments in society at large, so as to bring out their mutual relevance; and critical application of Woolf’s contributions so as to clarify her own and others’ cultural moment
  2. Cognitive skills
    • the ability to demonstrate an appropriate level of skill in research, analysis, synthesis, conceptual thinking, cogency of argument and clarity of written expression
    • the ability to undertake sustained individual study
  3. Key and Social Skills
    • the ability to devise, organise and conduct independent research
    • the ability to undertake critical reasoning and logical argument
    • communication and presentational skills in written contexts the ability to manage research time effectively and organise research priorities

The following core texts by Woolf will be to the fore. However, students will be encouraged to explore and follow up their own developing interests, and to explore background reading. Other Modernists such as Mansfield, Joyce and Eliot will be brought into play, to round out students’ sense of Modernism as a broader movement.
