TEXT 3
Virginia Woolf (1882-1941)
(from https://suite101.com)
English novelist, essayist and critic Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), was a founder of the Bloomsbury Group of writers and artists. Her famous books include Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, Orlando, and The Waves.
She is best known for developing the 'stream of consciousness' method of writing in which the reader follows the characters' internal thoughts as the story unfolds. Her writing style is significantly influential in the development of the 20th century novel as it was used by prominent authors like James Joyce.
Virginia Woolf was born Adeline Virginia Stephen into a distinguished literary family. Educated at home, she married Leonard Woolf, a social reformer, when she was 30, and published her first novel, The Voyage Out, three years later. By this time she was suffering from occasional mental illness. Woolf and her husband Leonard founded the Hogarth Press, a small company that published new and experimental work, such as the poems of T.S. Eliot.
Aside from the Bloomsbury Group of writers, she was also an acquaintance of Elizabeth Bowen and May Sarton.
In her third novel, Jacob's Room, published when she was 40, Woolf began experimenting with the stream-of-consciousness method. She continued this style of writing in her novels Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and The Waves.
Her book, Jacob's Room, was based on the life and death of her dear brother Thoby. From this book, her style of writing broke away from the realistic early writing mode, and she began the process of the stream of consciousness, as she laid down in her essay "Modern Fiction." Hereon, until The Waves, she clearly established herself as the leading exponent of Modernism.
In Orlando, she wrote about a character who lived through several centuries and changed from male to female and back again several times. It traces the history of its androgynous protagonist through four centuries, much unlike her other novels, considered her greatest commercial success. It was dedicated to fellow-writer Vita Sackville-West, with whom she had an intimate friendship.
Woolf described the problems of women in a male-dominated world in A Room of One's Own. A more conventional in form is her penultimate work, The Years. However, her last novel, Between the Acts, she returned to the experimental. She completed it just before her final mental illness that drove her to commit suicide by drowning herself in a river near her home.
Virginia Woolf is a pioneer of feminism. Since her death, she is acknowledged as one of the major novelists of the 20th century, and best known for her Stream of Consciousness method. Her literary essays have been published in several volumes, such as The Common Reader.
