The Little World of Stella Benson: fiction in biographical narratives, recreating worlds through literary adaptation
Stella Benson, a writer closely associated with Virginia Woolf, fell into obscurity after the war. Benson wrote about the condition of women at the beginning of the 20th century, about war, and about her travels. She was also a great poet and had an infinite love for dogs. The comic strip author Nina Six will discuss the process of reintroducing her writing to a wider audience through the medium of comic books.
