Her novels are noted for their subjective exploration of character and theme and their poetic prose, while her essays are commended for their perceptive observations on nearly the entire range of English literature, as well as many social and political concerns of the early twentieth century.

http://www.glbtq.com/literature/woolf_v.html

Extractions: page: Passionate friendships with women were essential to the life and work of novelist Virginia Woolf. Woolf was born Adeline Virginia Stephen on January 25, 1882, in Hyde Park Gate, London, the daughter of Leslie Stephen, a man of letters, who in the same year began editing the Dictionary of National Biography and Julia Pattle Duckworth, a Victorian beauty immortalized in the photographs of Julia Margaret Cameron. Sponsor Message. Virginia's mother's first marriage ended with the death of her husband, leaving her with three children, one of whom, Gerald Duckworth, is known to have sexually molested Woolf as an adolescent. Her adolescence was marked as well by a sequence of deaths and the first bout of a mental illness that would haunt her for the rest of her life: Her mother died in 1895; her half-sister Stella, who served as mother-substitute, in 1897; her father in 1904 and her brother Thoby in 1906. She experienced her first mental breakdown at the age of thirteen following her mother's death, while the final one ended with her suicide when she walked into the river Ouse on March 28, 1941.

http://www.glbtq.com/literature/woolf_v,5.html

Extractions: page: Not only does the novel make Vita immortal, Woolf in addition is able to grant her several wishes: having the best of both sexes and the most of each one, sexually. Woolf enables her to inherit the family estate, Knole, which Vita had been disinherited of due to her gender. She makes her an accomplished writer, rather than giving her the "pen of brass" she thought she really had. And finally she bestows on her beauty through Orlando's stately legs, thereby representing her as a "real woman," in contrast to her own sense of herself as a "eunuch." Sponsor Message. And yet Woolf's one venture into female eroticism ended with Orlando , capturing in print what she wasn't able to have in life due to Vita's infidelity and her own stifled sexuality. Originally entitled "The Jessamy Brides" ("Jessamy" referring to a dandy or fop), Orlando represents both what Woolf could never be or have except through her art.

http://www.gradesaver.com/classicnotes/authors/about_virginia_woolf.html

Extractions: Help Virginia Woolf In 1878, Leslie Stephen and Julia Jackson Duckworth married, a second marriage for both. They gave birth to Adeline Virginia Stephen four years later on the 26th of March at 22 Hyde Park Gate, London. Virginia followed Vanessa and Julian Thoby and preceded Adrian. Leslie Stephen began his career as a clergyman but soon became agnostic and took up journalism. He and Julia provided their children with a home of wealth and comfort. Virginia, though denied the formal education allowed to males, was able to take advantage of her father's abundant library, to observe his writing talent, and to be surrounded by intellectual conversation. The same year Virginia was born, for instance, her father began editing the Dictionary of National Biography, a huge undertaking. Virginia's mother was more delicate and helped to bring out the more emotional sides of her children. Both parents were very strong personalities. By them, Virginia would feel overshadowed for years. Virginia would suffer through three major mental breakdowns during her lifetime. In all likelihood, her compulsive drive to work, which she acquired from her parents, combined with her natural fragile state largely contributed to these breakdowns. Yet, the situation was more complicated. Her first breakdown was suffered shortly following the death of her mother in 1895, which Virginia later described as "the greatest disaster that could have happened." Some have suggested that Virginia may have felt guilt over choosing her father as the favorite parent. However, her mental state could not have been aided by the excessive mourning period enacted by her father. Two years later, Stella Duckworth, Virginia's stepsister, died. Stella had assumed charge of the household duties after Julia's death, causing a rift between her and Virginia. Virginia fell sick soon after her death. The same year, Virginia began her first diary.

(1966), a famous and shocking black comedy, was based on Edward Albee's scandalous play (Ernest Lehman's screenplay left the dialogue of the play virtually intact). It was first performed in New York in October of 1962, and it captured the New York Drama Critics Circle Award and the Tony Award for the 1962-3 season. The film's title refers to Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), an influential British feminist writer who pioneered the 'stream of consciousness' literary style while examining the psychological and emotional motives of her characters. [Perhaps the 'fear' of VW refers to the film's characters who are suffering marital discord in the emotionally-draining film, and who may have 'known' that she suffered from mental illness and ultimately went insane and committed suicide.] The title is also a parody of Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/research/fa/woolf.virginia.html

Extractions: Index of Correspondents Born early in 1882 to Sir Leslie and Julia Stephen, Adeline Virginia Stephen (Woolf), was the third of four children (Vanessa, Thoby, and Adrian). Though she received little formal education, her father, a writer and editor with strong interests in literary history, encouraged her to read extensively and gave her general advice on writing. Her father's connections to the literary world brought Virginia into contact with many well-known writers, including James Russell Lowell (Virginia's godfather), George Meredith, and Anne Thackeray Ritchie. The death of her mother in 1895, when Virginia was thirteen, led to the first in a life long series of bouts of "madness" or depression, which plagued Woolf and which she treated with rest, milk, and long walks. The death of her step-sister in 1897 and then her father in 1904, though tragic, gave Virginia and her siblings the impetus and opportunity to move from the family home in respectable Hyde Park Gate to a new home in the less respectable neighborhood of Bloomsbury. It was here that the Bloomsbury group, formed at the Stephen's Thursday evenings "at-home," got its start. Groups of Thoby's friends from Cambridge visited to participate in wide-ranging discussions about politics, economics, and art. In 1906, Thoby died and Vanessa married Clive Bell, leaving Virginia and her younger brother Adrian to set up house together at a new Bloomsbury address.

http://therem.net/bloom-virginia.htm

Extractions: Third child of Sir Leslie and Julia Stephen, Virginia began at a young age to express herself in writing, crafting fanciful newsletters for her parents and her first book review at the age of 9. Her later novels, short stories and essays combine a penetrating intelligence with lively humor and a commitment to experimentation in form and content. The shadow of her extraordinary literary talent was a recurrent mental illness that caused her first breakdown in 1895, after the death of her mother, and would reappear at intervals throughout her life, eventually prompting her to suicide in 1941. Married Leonard Woolf in 1912. Establishment of Hogarth Press, 1917. "She might have become a glorified diseuse , who frittered away her broader effects by mischievousness, and she did give that impression to some who met her in the flesh; there were moments when she could scarcely see the busts for the moustaches she pencilled on them, and when the bust was a modern one, whether of a gentleman in a top hat or a youth on a pylon, it had no chance of remaining sublime. But in her writing, even in her light writing, central control entered. She was master of her complicated equipment, and though most of us like to write sometimes seriously and sometimes in fun, few of us can so manage the two impulses that they speed each other up, as hers did."

Extractions: Virginia Stephen's father was a scholar and an essayist-Sir Leslie Stephen; his first wife was a daughter of Thackeray, and his friends were the illustrious of the day: Hardy, Meredith, Stevenson, Ruskin, Bryce. In this household, the Stephen girls, Virginia and her sisters, grew up shy and lovely, "in plain black dresses," as William Rothenstein describes them, "with white lace collars and wrist bands, looking as though they had walked straight out of a canvas by Watts or Burne-Jones." After Virginia's marriage to Leonard Woolf in 1912, the new Woolf house in Bloomsbury became quite as intellectual a gathering place as her father's had been, with the emphasis now on Freud and psychoanalysis, and Virginia the center, rather than a sideline observer. The Woolfs had a small hand press at this time on which they got out limited editions under the imprint of the Hogarth Press; this, after the war, developed into a successful publishing house. In 1918 they published T. S. Eliot's Poems , and Prelude , by an obscure young author named Katherine Mansfield. Like Katherine Mansfield, Virginia Woolf wrote with freshness of a gracious and lovely world, but hers is a world pervaded with loneliness. In March, 1941, she disappeared from her home and was later found drowned. The note she left behind read: 'I have the feeling that I shall go mad and cannot go on any longer in these terrible times. "A Haunted House" comes from the posthumous volume of stories by that title.

Her writing often explores the concepts of time, memory, and peopleâs inner consciousness, and is remarkable for its humanity and depth of perception. Before the early 1900s, fiction emphasized plot as well as detailed descriptions of characters and settings. Events in the external world, such as a marriage, murder, or deception, were the most important aspects of a story. Characters' interior, or mental, lives served mainly to prepare for or motivate such meaningful external occurrences. Woolf's novels, however, emphasized patterns of consciousness rather than sequences of events in the external world. Influenced by the works of French writer Marcel Proust and Irish writer James Joyce , among others, Woolf strove to create a literary form that would convey inner life. To this end, she elaborated a technique known as
