Autorenporträt
Virginia Woolf, born Adeline Virginia Stephen on January 25, 1882, remains a central figure in modernist literature. Through her novels, essays, and critical writings, she reconceptualized narrative form and addressed the complexities of human consciousness. Woolf was a prominent member of the Bloomsbury Group, whose members were influential British writers, intellectuals, philosophers, and artists (Lee, 1997). She married Leonard Woolf in 1912, and together they founded the Hogarth Press, which published much of her work and that of other modernist thinkers. Woolf's literary contributions were notable for their experimental approach to narrative structure and their exploration of characters' thoughts and perceptions, a style termed 'stream of consciousness.' 'The Waves' (1931) stands as one of Woolf's most avant-garde works, exemplifying these techniques. It employs a soliloquy-like narrative where six characters' inner thoughts and feelings intertwine with the motion of the titular waves, creating a unique rhythmic literature that defies traditional novelistic form. Her other notable works include 'Mrs. Dalloway' (1925), 'To the Lighthouse' (1927), and 'Orlando' (1928), each contributing to her reputation as an innovator of the literary form. Woolf's works engage with themes of femininity, class, and the nature of reality and time, often drawing from her own experiences with mental illness, which sadly led to her suicide in 1941. Her legacy lives on in the continued study and appreciation of her contribution to literature and feminist thought (Woolf, 1989).
