Lillian Robles is a fourth-year English major with a minor in public affairs. She is a transfer from Glendale Community College. Her research project analyzes Virginia Woolf’s two texts A Room of One’s Own and Orlando through a performance studies lens. By reading the narrators of each text as performers, she hopes to explore what it means to perform in literature. She argues that A Room of One’s Own and Orlando feature paradigms of explicitly performative narrators that serve to illuminate the performative elements of literary narration as a whole. More broadly, her project raises questions of the nature and function of performance, especially in producing knowledge and meaning. After graduation, she plans to pursue law school.
