Virginia Woolf

British · 1882–1941

Virginia Woolf was a British novelist and essayist, one of the central figures of modernist literature. Her novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and The Waves (1931) pioneered stream-of-consciousness narrative and explored the flow of subjective experience with formal innovation that transformed the English novel. She was a member of the Bloomsbury Group, a circle of intellectuals that included John Maynard Keynes and E. M. Forster. Her essay A Room of One's Own (1929) is a landmark of feminist literary criticism. She died by suicide in 1941.
