Over de auteur
Virginia Woolf, born Adeline Virginia Stephen on January 25, 1882, in London, England, is hailed as one of the foremost literary figures of the twentieth century. Woolf's work is emblematic of the modernist style, characterized by her innovative narrative structures and nuanced exploration of the human consciousness. A central figure in the Bloomsbury Group, Woolf's literary career began in the realm of essays and critiques, leading to her first novel 'The Voyage Out' in 1915. Virginia Woolf's 'Roger Fry: A Biography' (1940) is an insightful examination of the life of the English artist and critic, reflecting her deep engagement in the aesthetics and the art world of her time. Woolf's narrative proficiency is not limited to her novels like 'Mrs. Dalloway' (1925) and 'To the Lighthouse' (1927); rather, it extends to her biographical pursuits as well, where she exercises a keen psychological insight and stylistic grace. Woolf's contributions extend beyond literature, as she is also noted for her essays, particularly 'A Room of One's Own' (1929), where she addresses the challenges and societal conditions inhibiting women writers. Her literary craftsmanship, coupled with her exploration of feminist themes and modernist techniques, has cemented her legacy in the canon of English literature. Woolf's life, marked by both brilliance and struggle, came to a tragic end when she took her own life on March 28, 1941.
