Averett Department of Language, Literature, and Culture

The LLC Department engages students in languages, cultures, writing, and diverse media.

The mission of the Department of Language, Literature, and Culture at Averett University is to engage students in languages, cultures, writing, and a wide range of media, both in the classroom and in the community. The Department’s supportive, interdisciplinary environment fosters students' analytical and creative thinking, problem-solving abilities, and communication strategies that engage with l

ocal and global perspectives. We see the tasks of understanding communication processes, learning languages, developing cultural awareness, honing writing skills, and analyzing literature, film, and other media as profoundly interconnected. Our holistic approach prepares students for future challenges and opportunities in civic and professional life!

💐✍️ Take a look at our new addition to the 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘓.𝘔. 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘨𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘚𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘴 “Vision” collection!

L.M. Montgomery’s posthumously published book 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘭𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘘𝘶𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘥 and Virginia Woolf’s novel 𝘛𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦 are both divided into two parts that are interrupted by the First World War. The visions of hope and possibility in the first section of each book are replaced in the second halves by re-visions of nostalgia, grief, and growth. While Woolf and Montgomery are not often discussed together, a comparison of these novels highlights how, for both authors, aesthetic creations such as painting, writing, and storytelling become a means for their characters to process grief and remember lost loved ones.

Montgomery’s The Blythes Are Quoted and Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse” by Catherine Clark, visit https://journaloflmmontgomerystudies.ca/vision/Clark/creative-vision-grief-and-memory-lm-montgomerys-blythes-are-quoted-and-virginia-woolfs-lighthouse
