Autorenporträt
Virginia Woolf, born in 1882 in London, grew up in a family rich in literary and artistic influence. Her early years were marked by both privilege and personal loss, as she faced family tragedies and mental health struggles. The Bloomsbury Group, her circle of intellectual friends, profoundly shaped her life and work.As a writer, Woolf pioneered modernist techniques like stream-of-consciousness, crafting introspective novels such as Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse. She often delved into themes of identity, time, and gender, challenging societal norms. Her essay, A Room of One's Own, remains a cornerstone of feminist literature.Despite her influential career, Woolf battled depression throughout her life, ultimately taking her life in 1941. Her legacy endures through her transformative contributions to literature and feminist thought. Today, Woolf is celebrated as one of the 20th century's most impactful literary voices.
