Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này

In "The Collected Essays of Virginia Woolf," readers are offered a rich tapestry of thought that showcases Woolf's innovative literary style and her keen insight into the human condition. Comprising a diverse range of essays, from literary criticism to reflections on women's rights and the nature of creativity, this compendium encapsulates her profound engagement with the societal issues of her time. Woolf's distinct stream-of-consciousness technique and lyrical prose interweave personal experience with broader cultural critiques, inviting readers to contemplate the intricate relationships between art, society, and self. Amidst the backdrop of early 20th-century modernism, Woolf's essays echo the feminist voice emerging within that context, challenging conventions and expanding the possibilities of literature by prioritizing subjective experience. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), a central figure in the modernist literary movement, was deeply influenced by her own experiences as a woman writer in a male-dominated society. Growing up in a household rich with literary tradition and intellectual rigor, as well as personal struggles with mental health, Woolf's life informed her critical lens on the roles of gender and art. Her essays not only reflect her literary prowess but also provide a window into her advocacy for women's rights and her profound understanding of human psychology, allowing her to traverse the delicate interplay between the individual and society. "The Collected Essays of Virginia Woolf" is an essential read for anyone interested in literature, feminism, or modernist thought. Woolf's essays invite readers to grapple with complex ideas while enveloping them in her exquisitely crafted prose. This collection is not merely an academic endeavour; it serves as a call to introspection and a commitment to understanding the socio-political landscapes that shape our selves and our writing.

Giới thiệu tác giả

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was an influential English writer who played a pivotal role in modernist literature with her use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device. Born Adeline Virginia Stephen in London to a prominent family, Woolf was largely educated at home in her father's extensive library. She started writing professionally in 1900, and in 1912 she married Leonard Woolf, a political theorist and author. They founded the Hogarth Press in 1917, which published much of Woolf's work and that of other modernist writers. Woolf's narrative style is characterized by her lyrical prose and her exploration of the inner lives of her characters, often focusing on the complexities of time and memory. Among her most notable novels are 'Mrs. Dalloway' (1925), 'To the Lighthouse' (1927), and 'Orlando' (1928). Woolf's 'The Collected Essays of Virginia Woolf,' which gathers many of her non-fiction writings, showcases her sharp insight into literature, human behavior, and social issues. A pioneering feminist, she also addressed issues of gender and sexuality, most famously in her extended essay 'A Room of One's Own' (1929). Sadly, Woolf's life was marked by mental health issues, and she died by suicide in 1941. Nevertheless, her literary achievements continue to inspire and influence writers and readers around the world.
