Many Crowns of Violets—Classical Reception in Queer Readings of Virginia Woolf

This research delves into classical reception, comparative literature, and queer studies. I look at how Virginia Woolf's unique experiences supported novel interpretations of the classical and how she uses these readings to express queer themes in her works.

Hey everyone! I'm a Classics (4-year programme) student at Trinity Hall, University of Cambridge. I grew up in Hong Kong but went to high school in Arkansas. Right now my main focus is surviving (and hopefully thriving!) at university, but I'm open to any opportunity to develop my interest and skills in literary studies, research, creative writing, leadership, and creating change through education and the humanities!
