The Stage of Scholarship: Crossing the Bridge from Harrison to Woolf

Abstract

It is an unsettling experience to read Jane Ellen Harrison’s Ancient Art and Ritual side by side with Virginia Woolf s Between the Acts. The uncanny reverberations that traverse from the scholarly work into the pages of the fictional piece compound themselves until one would almost say that Woolfs work is a fictional rewrite of Harrison’s scholarship. It is as if Woolf were staging Harrison’s work, providing a theatre where creative scholarship and creative writing combine in their efforts at taking up questions about art, society, religion, the family, history, war. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
