Congratulations to Elizabeth Foulke, whose chapter “The Single Woman’s Thousand Shapes of Love in Virginia Woolf’s To The Lighthouse” appears in the interdisciplinary collection Singular Selves: An Introduction to Singles Studies (Routledge).

The chapter foregrounds Woolf’s Lily Briscoe–a rare example of a single female in canonized literature who circumvents the spinster trope and her associations with loneliness and lack. Through Briscoe, Woolf provides a model of singleness characterized by myriad forms of connection and love.
