Woolf's Crowds and the Extension of Identity

Panel: 
Virginia Woolf
Abstract: 

I examine how Woolf conceptualized the crowd as prior to and constitutive of the individual, why her figurations of the crowd in texts such as Mrs. Dalloway rethink subjectivity, and whether they offer space to marginalized collectivities within imagined communities.
