About the author
Virginia Woolf was an English writer and a central figure in modernist literature. Renowned for her innovative narrative techniques, such as stream of consciousness, and her exploration of themes like identity, time, and the inner workings of the mind, Woolf's works have left an indelible mark on 20th-century literature. She was also a prominent feminist, whose essays and novels challenged the social norms of her time and advocated for women's intellectual and creative freedom.
Woolf began her career as a writer with book reviews and essays for various publications. Her first novel, The Voyage Out (1915), introduced her experimental style, but it was with Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927) that she gained widespread acclaim. These works exemplify her stream-of-consciousness technique, capturing the intricate flow of characters' thoughts and emotions.
Woolf's work redefined the possibilities of the modern novel, emphasizing psychological depth and subjective reality over linear plot structures. Her writings have inspired countless authors and thinkers, influencing literary movements like postmodernism and feminist literature.
