Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was an essayist, literary critic and, above all, a novelist, for which she was best known. She was a central figure in the literary and artistic community known as the Bloomsbury Group, a close-knit group that featured several English artists and writers of the early years of the twentieth century.
What distinguishes Virginia Woolf\u2019s novels is her development of innovative ways in which the limitation of prose can be tested. Her story-telling departed from the conventions which had made fiction stylistically fixed in late Victorian and Edwardian fiction. She abandoned the straightforward narration and used something more like stream-of-conscious prose to focus on the inner lives of her characters.
The 1970s feminist criticism movement focused on her work and gave her credit for inspiring feminism. Her novels have been translated into more than fifty languages. Her life and career have fascinated the literary establishment for a century and have been the subject of plays, films and novels.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
