Summary:

Virginia Woolf was deeply interested in the past-whether literary, intellectual, cultural, political or social-and her writings interrogate it repeatedly. She was also a great tourist and explorer of heritage sites in England and abroad. This book brings together an international team of world-class scholars to explore how Woolf engaged with heritage, how she understood and represented it, and how she has been represented by the heritage industry.
