Abstract

The article explores the relation between the material and intangible that is brought to the fore in English writer Virginia Woolf's interaction with science. Topics discussed include the lecture on X-rays Woolf accidentally attended in 1897, the implication of Woolf's wider references to X-rays in her writings, and the role played by Woolf's engagement with science in providing her a layer of imagery and metaphor for her modernist aesthetics.
