Lecture: “Vita, Virginia, and the Allure of the East”

Lectures

4:30 p.m.

Urmila Seshagiri, associate professor of English, University of Tennessee at Knoxville

Virginia Woolf’s novel “Orlando” traces the magical story of a man who becomes a woman and lives through four centuries of English history. Seshagiri will discuss how Vita Sackville-West’s travelogue “Passenger to Teheran” inspired the novel’s comedy as well as its radical experiments with time and space.

Co-sponsored by the museum and the Department of English.
