- Summary:
- 'Conversation Pieces' sketches an object-oriented lineage for modernism, showing that Virginia Woolf's passion for objects was fuelled by her participation in a widespread conversation about philosophical empiricism's affective and aesthetic legacies - one involving a variety of 18th, 19th, and 20th-century thinkers, such as David Hume, Leslie Stephen, Walter Pater, Vernon Lee, Henri Bergson, William James, G.E. Moore, and Bertrand Russell
