Virginia Woolf

Five Fascinating Facts about Virginia Woolf More than seventy years after her death, Virginia Woolf continues to be a source of inspiration, analysis, interest, and admiration. Emphasis on a small number of famous events in her lifetime has turned her into a mythological figure that, at times, may have little resemblance to the flesh-and-blood woman behind the brand. Yet besides the stories of her breakdowns, her ‘madness,’ her snobbishness, her suicide, and the sexual abuse she suffered, there’s much more to tell about the writer who was at the forefront of twentieth-century Modernism. 1. When Virginia and Leonard Woolf, who together ran the Hogarth Press, received the manuscript of the first chapters of James Joyce’s  Ulysses , they turned it down for publication because it was impossible to print the entire book on their handpress.  Although she later came to appreciate some aspects of the book, having read it through the first time, she was hardly enthusiastic: ...

The Voyage Out The Voyage Out  is the first novel by  Virginia Woolf , published in 1915 by  Duckworth ; and published in the US in 1920 by Doran. Rachel Vinrace embarks for South America on her father's ship and is launched on a course of self-discovery in a kind of modern mythical voyage. The mismatched jumble of passengers provide Woolf with an opportunity to satirise  Edwardian  life. The novel introduces  Clarissa Dalloway , the central character of Woolf's later novel,  Mrs Dalloway . Two of the other characters were modelled after important figures in Woolf's life. St John Hirst is a fictional portrayal of  Lytton Strachey  and Helen Ambrose is to some extent inspired by Woolf's sister,  Vanessa Bell .

Woolf is one of the greatest twentieth century  novelists  and  short story writers  and one of the pioneers, among  modernist writers   using  stream of consciousness  as a  narrative device , alongside contemporaries such as  Marcel Proust ,   Dorothy Richardson  and  James Joyce . Woolf's reputation was at its greatest during the 1930s, but declined considerably following  World War II . The growth of  feminist criticism  in the 1970s helped re-establish her reputation. Virginia submitted her first article in 1890, to a competition in  Tit-Bits . Although it was rejected, this shipboard romance by the eight-year old, would presage her first novel fifteen years later, as were contributions to the Hyde Park News, such as the model letter "to show young people the right way to express what is in their hearts", a subtle commentary on her mother's legendary matchmaking. She began writing...

Eliot, Ezra Pound, James Joyce, and Gertrude Stein. Her parents were Sir Leslie Stephen (1832–1904), who was a notable historian, author, critic and mountaineer, and Julia Prinsep Duckworth (1846–1895), a renowned beauty. According to Woolf's memoirs, her most vivid childhood memories were not of London but of St. Ives in Cornwall, where the family spent every summer until 1895. This place inspired her to write one of her masterpieces, To the Lighthouse. The sudden death of her mother in 1895, when Virginia was 13, and that of her half-sister Stella two years later, led to the first of Virginia's several nervous breakdowns. but it was the death of her father in 1904 provoked her most alarming collapse and she was briefly institutionalised. Some scholars have suggested that her mental instability was also due t...
