Autorenporträt
Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) was an iconic figure in modernist literature, renowned for her innovative narrative techniques and deep explorations of character psychology. Born Adeline Virginia Stephen in London to a literary family, her status as an intellectual was preordained. Much of Woolf's work can be viewed as a response to the intellectual and social atmosphere of her times, and she is frequently grouped with literary giants such as James Joyce and T.S. Eliot. Her fame rests not merely upon her prolific output but also upon her distinct use of stream-of-conscious dialogue and shifting perspectives, which served to grant profound psychological depth to her characters and settings. Woolf co-founded the Hogarth Press with her husband Leonard Woolf, and it was through this venue that she published 'Jacob's Room' in 1922. This novel is often regarded as her first genuine foray into modernist literature. 'Jacob's Room' eschews traditional narrative structure, instead presenting a series of sketches that paint a portrait of the titular character, Jacob Flanders, ultimately leaving much to the readers' imagination. Woolf's literary contributions cannot be underestimated, going beyond her role as an author to her essays which revolve around issues of feminism, literature and society. Her eminent works, such as 'Mrs. Dalloway' and 'To the Lighthouse', continue to be celebrated for their lyrical prose and profound explorations of existence and identity.
