เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง
Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), born Adeline Virginia Stephen, was an illustrious English writer known for her innovative literary style and contributions to modernist fiction. Woolf was an integral figure in London’s literary and intellectual circles and a member of the Bloomsbury Group. Her narrative technique, characterized by a stream of consciousness and psychological depth, was revolutionary at the time and has left a profound impact on the literary world. In ‘The Common Reader – First Series’ (1925), Woolf compiled a collection of essays that revolutionized literary criticism by advocating for the role of the ‘common reader, ‘ a concept representing an individual reading for pleasure rather than academic analysis. This work reflects her belief in the accessibility of literature and the importance of personal emotional responses to it. Woolf’s oeuvre includes notable works like ‘Mrs. Dalloway’ (1925), ‘To the Lighthouse’ (1927), and ‘Orlando’ (1928), which continue to be widely read and analyzed for their depth and narrative ingenuity. Woolf’s writing is often studied for its exploration of the human psyche, gender roles, and the complexities of time and existence, establishing her as a pivotal figure in the canon of English literature.
