A Chapter by Chapter Meditation on
The Waves by Virginia Woolf
Elisa Kay Sparks
2023
During 2022 and 2023, Catherine Paul and I did a slow reading of The Waves, sending each other meditative reading responses to each chapter about once a month. With Catherine's permission, I am posting both sides of the correspondence because it records a multifaceted conversation between two scholars re/discovering the endless detail of this perpetually complex novel. My responses trace a variety of allusions (particularly to flowers and T.S. Eliot) and produced a number of new insights.
