Dalloway Day 2019


Dalloway Day 2019

It may seem a bit early to talk about this but the second ever Dalloway Day will be on Wednesday, 19 June 2019. This is an event that is already being discussed on the web, so I mention it here. After all, it takes some time for people to prepare their participation. The theme this year is queering, specifically—although ambiguously, in what I take to be a Woolfian way—queering Dalloway.

Last year I posted a short text on Virginia Woolf’s novel Mrs Dalloway for the first Dalloway Day and I intend to write something this June as well. But just now I simply wanted to encourage people to participate, writing, drawing, making music, doing theatricals in order to promote the achievements of Woolf and her Bloomsbury colleagues. A good deal of information is available at Paula Maggio’s blog,  Blogging Woolf.* Hopefully this year’s celebration will be even bigger than the first!
