Virginia Woolf
1882–1941
Biography
Adeline Virginia Woolf was an English novelist, critic and essayist who lived from 1882 to 1941. Born in London into a large family, she was taught mostly at home and later attended King's College London. After her father's death in 1904 she moved with her siblings to Bloomsbury, where she became part of the circle of writers, painters and thinkers known as the Bloomsbury Group. With her husband Leonard she founded the Hogarth Press in 1917, which printed her own books and those of other writers.
Woolf is known for her experiments with narrative. In novels such as Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse and Orlando she followed the thoughts and memories of her characters, often in a flowing style known as stream of consciousness. Her essay A Room of One's Own, published in 1929, argues that women need money and a room of their own if they are to write, and it is still widely read. She struggled with depression for much of her life, and in 1941 she drowned herself in the River Ouse near her home in Sussex.
The site holds Monday or Tuesday, a 1921 collection of short sketches and prose pieces. It is a good place to see her early experiments with the brief form, before the longer novels in which those methods reached their full scope.
