| Summary: | This volume is a biography of English writer Virginia Woolf (1882-1941). Woolf is regarded as one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century. During the inter war period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a member of the Bloomsbury Group. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs. Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay, A Room of One's Own (1929), with its famous dictum, "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." This biography was written by someone who knew her well when he was a child; and it closely investigates her attitudes to feminism and war. The author was the son of Vita Sackville-West, who was Virginia Woolf's closest friend. |
