Libraries

Virginia Woolf scholar Emily Kopley will present two lectures on Dec. 3 and 4 at WSU’s Holland and Terrell Libraries. Kopley describes Woolf’s personal library, the writer’s exploration of poetry, and the cover art of To the Lighthouse, inspired by Woolf’s 1902 edition of English poet William Wordsworth. Focusing on Woolf’s poetry titles, Kopley said these books help readers to understand Woolf’s attitude towards poetry, which she considered a rival and muse to her own form, the novel.
