Virginia Woolf 1882-1941
"A woman must have money and a room of her own."
"It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality." Woolf a major British novelist, essayist, and critic was one of the leaders in the literary movement of modernism. This elite group also included Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, Ezra Pound, and T. S. Eliot. In her works, she used a technique called "stream of consciousness", revealing the lives of her characters by revealing their thoughts and associations. Her most famous novel, "To the Lighthouse", which was written in 1927, examines the life of an upper middle class British family. It portrays the fragility of human relationships and the collapse of social values. She was also a feminist, socialist, and pacifist who expressed her beliefs in essays such as "A Room of One's Own".

Virginia Woolf, 1882-1941 Virginia Woolf was an English novelist and critic during the Modern Period whose writings are highly esteemed by modern feminist critics. Adeline Virginia Stephen was born in London on January 25, 1882. She was one of four children of the prominent Victorian critic, philosopher, biographer, and scholar, Leslie Stephen. In 1904, Virginia's father died. At that time she settled with her sister and two brothers in the Bloomsbury district of London. During this time, Virginia, her brothers and her sister became affliated with the intellectual circle known as The Bloomsbury Group . The Bloomsbury Group included highly prominient thinkers of the day such as the biographer Lytton Strachey, the economist J.M. Keynes, the art critics Roger Fry and Clive Bell, the writer E.M. Forester, and the journalist and essayist Leonard Woolf. In 1912, Virginia married Leonard Woolf. Five years later, in 1917, the Woolfs founded the Hogarth Press which in addition to publishing Virginia's writings, also published many of the era's most renowned texts; such the English translations of Freud and manuscripts by T.S. Eliot and Katherine Mansfield. Virginia Woolf wrote many reviews and critical essays as well as novels. She was greatly concerned with the position of professional women and the constrictions under which they suffered, and in response wrote one of her most famous essays, "A Room of One's Own" (1929). Woolf experimented a great deal with her novels. Her early novels are in "traditional form," but later novels are masters of the "stream of consciousness" style.

It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top. We all indulge in the strange, pleasant process called thinking, but when it comes to saying, even to someone opposite, what we think, then how little we are able to convey! One likes people much better when they're battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph. On the outskirts of every agony sits some observant fellow who points.

The Voyage Out
by Virginia Woolf
As the streets that lead from the Strand to the Embankment are very narrow, it is better not to walk down them arm-in-arm. If you persist, lawyers' clerks will have to make flying leaps into the mud; young lady typists will have to fidget behind you. In the streets of London where beauty goes unregarded, eccentricity must pay the penalty, and it is better not to be very tall, to wear a long blue cloak, or to beat the air with your left hand. The embankment juts out in angles here and there, like pulpits; instead of preachers, however, small boys occupy them, dangling string, dropping pebbles, or launching wads of paper for a cruise. With their sharp eye for eccentricity, they were inclined to think Mr. Ambrose awful; but the quickest witted cried "Bluebeard!" as he passed. In case they should proceed to tease his wife, Mr. Ambrose flourished his stick at them, upon which they decided that he was grotesque merely, and four instead of one cried "Bluebeard!" in chorus.

VIRGINIA WOOLF (1882-1941) "Prose Stylist and Feminist Critic" Read the excerpt from A Room of One's Own and Note the stream-of-consciousness style in both works; how does this mode of story-telling work. What is Woolf's point in creating a fictional sister for Shakespeare? Woolf was part of a brilliant circle of young intellectuals living and working in London early in the Twentieth Centurythe Bloomsbury group , composed of Lytton Strachey (biographer), Roger Fry and Clive Bell (art critics), E. M. Forster (novelist), Vanessa Stephen (artist), and Leonard Woolf (writer, publisher, intellectual and husband of Virginia Woolf, and other notables of Edwardian England. Two most significant aspects to Woolf's work are Stream-of-consciousness style - a mode of story-telling where the narrative is unfolded through the chaotic thought processes of a single character. In the case of Mrs. Dalloway , Woolf's first steam-of-consciousness novel, we perceive the events of a single day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, as she prepares for a garden partybut her perceptions are what we read, her thought processes are what we experience in the novel (note the parallel to James Joyce's Ulysses

Administrative/Biographical History
(Adeline) Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), novelist and critic, was born on 25 January 1882 in London, the second daughter of (Sir) Leslie Stephen. Too delicate for the rigours of regular school, she spent her childhood at her family's London house in Hyde Park Gate and country home at St. Ives in Cornwall. Her mother's death in 1895 precipitated the first of the nervous breakdowns which punctuated her life. Her father's death in 1904 was followed by another, but that was also the year of her first published work. After this Virginia, together with her sister Vanessa and her brother Adrian, settled in Gordon Square where they collected round them a group of brilliant young men whom their elder brother Thoby had got to know at Cambridge; notably Roger Fry, J. M. (later Lord) Keynes, Lytton Strachey, E. M. Forster, Leonard Woolf, and Clive Bell. Thus was inaugurated 'the Bloomsbury group'. In 1912 she married Leonard Sidney Woolf (1880-1969). In 1914 she had another serious breakdown, and although after a year she recovered, for the rest of her life her husband saw to it that she lived very quietly. They lived partly in London and partly in Sussex, where in 1919 they purchased at Monks House, at Rodmell, near Lewes, East Sussex. It was during this period that her chief work was done and her fame established. Of her novels

Administrative/Biographical History
Quentin Claudian Stephen Bell (1910-1996) was an artist, potter, author and founding Professor of the History and Theory of Art at the University of Sussex from 1967 to 1975. He was the son of Clive Bell (1881-1964) and Vanessa Stephen (1879-1961) - and the nephew of the writer Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), with whom he enjoyed a trusted and affectionate relationship throughout their lives and whose first elected biographer he was to become. Bell's papers bear witness to that familial affection and to the responsibility and care which he bestowed on his distinguished aunt's literary memory. Bell's highly praised Virginia Woolf: a biography , 2 vols (London: Hogarth Press, 1972), won not only the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, but also the Duff Cooper Prize and the Yorkshire Post Book of the Year Award. After the death of Virginia's widower, Leonard Woolf (1880-1969), Quentin Bell and his sister Angelica Garnett inherited Virginia Woolf's literary estate, the administration of which was undertaken by Quentin (see SxMs 13 and 18). In this and in all aspects of Woolf matters he was able to call on the knowledge and judgement of his wife Anne Olivier Bell, later editor with Andrew McNeillie of
