1Conversation in Virginia Woolf’s Works was the theme of the fourth conference of the Société d’Études Woolfiennes which was held at the University Paul Valéry—Montpellier III in June 2003. The theme was chosen during the Cerisy conference of 2001 when we debated about ‘the pure and the impure’ and how these two categories conversed with one another in Virginia Woolf’s works.1
2Following on the tracks of Cerisy, the Montpellier conference addressed the issue of Conversation in Virginia Woolf’s works by drawing on various methods of criticism, borrowing from genetics as well as from phenomenology, or offering textual as well as interart analyses. The whole body of Woolf’s works was taken into account so as to trace the conversational links between Virginia Woolf’s fiction and her essays or between Virginia Woolf’s works and other artists’ works. Conversation thus finally and paradoxically appeared as an essential component of the work of a writer who is often known for writing about silence.
