Virginia Woolf, who committed suicide on 28 March 1941, aged 59, was an English writer. She was a significant figure in London literary society and a central figure in the influential Bloomsbury Group of intellectuals.
Woolf was one of the foremost modernists of the
twentieth century. Her novels, through their nonlinear approaches to
narrative, exerted a major influence on the genre.
While she is best known for her novels,
especially Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the lighthouse (1927), Woolf also
wrote pioneering essays on artistic theory, literary history, women’s writing,
and the politics of power. A fine stylist, she experimented with several forms
of biographical writing, composed painterly short fictions, and sent to her
friends and family a lifetime of brilliant letters.
