    Abstract

    This essay argues that queer theory is necessary for the study of Virginia Woolf's literary work and historical presence. Rather than focusing on Woolf's sexuality, this essay suggests that the substance of Woolf's queerness exists in her formal exploration of gender, sexuality, temporality, and bodily life.
