| | Virginia Woolf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Virginia Woolf (née Stephen) (25 January 1882 – 28 March 1941) was a British author who is considered to be one of the foremost modernist/feminist literary figures of the twentieth century. | | | It has been called by Nigel Nicolson, Vita Sackville-West's son, "the longest and most charming love letter in literature." [2] Why the affair ended is not completely clear, but was possibly due to the loss of infatuation, to infidelities on the part of Sackville-West, or to the demands of their respective marriages. | | | Supplementing these influences was the immense library at 22 Hyde Park Gate, from which Virginia (unlike her brothers who were formally educated) was taught the classics and English literature. |

| | Alibris: Virginia Woolf |
| | Woolf's witty, beautifully written, and deeply revealing correspondence is among the most interesting we have, shedding light not only on Woolf herself but on the Bloomsbury milieu, the publishing world in England, and the society in which she lived and wrote. | | | Virginia Woolf described "Orlando" as "an escapade, half-laughing, half-serious; with great splashes of exaggeration, " but many think Woolf's escapade is one of the most wickedly imaginative and sharply observed considerations of androgyny that this century will see. | | | Woolf illustrates what happens when a young man is denied the opportunity to excel and is instead sent to war. |

| | A Modern Woman - Hermione Lee discovers Virginia Woolf's radicalism. By Sarah Kerr |
| | Woolf stood up for her peers, but she also understood if people found her overweeningly concerned with style, or found Eliot obscure, or Joyce obscene, "a pimply undergraduate." She knew that modernism was a work in progress, not a new system to be defended to the death. | | | In that essay Woolf explained that she and Joyce and Eliot and the rest had no choice but to abandon baggy old Victorianism. | | | Lee guesses that it was because Woolf predicted in advance the ridicule of her male friends (and literary competitors) that she kept herself from doing so. |

| | Virginia Woolf |
| | Virginia Woolf and her contemporaries are poised on the edge of the revolution which has turned biography into the iconoclastic, gossipy artform it is now, when the only taboo is censorship. | | | And this is to say nothing of the editions of her works and the hundreds of books and articles, reviews and conference papers on Virginia Woolf. | | | The climax of A Room of One's Own is, famously, a "fascinating and masterly biography"68 of Shakespeare's imaginary sister, as much of a genius as her brother, but doomed by her sex to a life of exploitation, pain, and failure. |

| | Virginia Woolf - Books and Biography |
| | Chief model for the character was writer Vita Sackville-West, with whom Woolf had a lesbian relationship. | | | She separated women as objects of representation and women as authors of representation, and argued that a change in the forms of literature was necessary because most literature had been "made by men out of their own needs for their own uses." In the last chapter Woolf touched the possibility of an androgynous mind. | | | Also other characters in the book were drawn from Woolf's family memories. |

| | Woolf's posthumously published novel Between the Acts (1941) combines prose, poetry, and dialogue, demonstrating Woolf's continued desire to expand the scope of the novel. | | | Her novels are noted for their subjective exploration of character and theme and their poetic prose, while her essays are commended for their perceptive observations on nearly the entire range of English literature, as well as many social and political concerns of the early twentieth century. | | | However, while both novels are written in stream-of-consciousness style, scholars note that Woolf's novel greatly differs from Joyce's in length, setting, and characterization, and its development of Woolf's lifelong aesthetic concern: the interrelationship of time, existence, and the human psyche. |

What does Woolf mean by this? | | | Her "stream-of-consciousness" essays and novels provide an invaluable insight into both her own life experiences and those of women at the beginning of the twentieth century. | | | Why would it be so important to Woolf to be able to do so? |
