Life into art? The Case of Mrs Dalloway

The case of Mrs Dalloway, 100 years old this year, tells us much about women's writing, women's history and – perhaps – much about the life of its author, Virginia Woolf. This talk traces some of the biographical and historical details of Woolf's novel to raise larger questions about the relationships between writers and their work.

Leeds Cultural Conversations is a series of public lectures organised by the Centre for Culture and Humanities at Leeds Beckett University. The series is run in partnership with Leeds Central Library and each event showcases a different piece of leading research being undertaken by our academic colleagues to a wider public audience, with discussion and debate encouraged by all that attend.

Events take place monthly in Leeds Central Library, over lunchtime and are open to all.
