Virginia Woolf (1882-1941)

Virginia Woolf

A British essayist, novelist, and critic, was born on 25th January 1882 in Kensington, England. Woolf's novels, however, emphasized patterns of consciousness rather than sequences of events in the external world. She was influenced by Marcel Proust, a French writer and Irish writer James Joyce. She elaborated a technique known as “stream of consciousness”. She explores the concepts of memory and time, and the inner consciousness of people. Her work is unique for its sense of humanity and its depth of perception. She died on March 28, 1941, River Ouse, Sussex, United Kingdom.
