Autorenporträt
Virginia Woolf, born Adeline Virginia Stephen on January 25, 1882, in London, England, was a pioneering English writer and a key figure in the modernist literary movement of the 20th century. She is renowned for her innovative narrative techniques, profound explorations of the human psyche, and her contributions to feminist literary criticism. Some major works are Mrs Dalloway (1925): A novel that explores a single day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, capturing her thoughts and experiences in a stream-of-consciousness style. · To the Lighthouse (1927): A deeply introspective novel that examines the complexities of family life and the passage of time. · Orlando (1928): A whimsical and gender-bending novel following the life of its protagonist over centuries, exploring themes of gender and identity. · A Room of One's Own (1929): An extended essay based on lectures Woolf delivered, advocating for women's intellectual freedom and financial independence.· The Waves (1931): A poetic novel that uses soliloquies to delve into the inner lives of six characters from childhood to adulthood. Virginia Woolf's literary innovations, particularly her use of stream-of-consciousness and her focus on the inner lives of her characters, have left a lasting mark on modernist literature. Her exploration of themes such as identity, gender, and the human condition, along with her advocacy for women's rights and intellectual freedom, have made her an enduring figure in literary and feminist studies. Woolf's work continues to be studied, celebrated, and revered for its depth, beauty, and profound insight into the human experience.
