À propos de cet e-book
In Virginia Woolf's 'On Being Ill,' the author delves into the often-neglected topic of illness and its impact on human experience. Written in Woolf's signature stream-of-consciousness style, the book weaves together personal reflections, literary references, and philosophical insights to create a thought-provoking exploration of the physical and emotional complexities of being ill. Woolf's lyrical prose and keen observations elevate the discussion beyond a mere medical account, making it a poignant and timeless work of literature that offers a unique perspective on this universal human condition. Published in 1930, during a period marked by Woolf's own struggles with mental health, 'On Being Ill' reflects the author's personal encounters with illness and her quest for deeper understanding of its effects on the individual. Drawing from her own experiences and literary background, Woolf brings a depth and nuance to the subject matter that is both profound and illuminating. This book is a must-read for those interested in Woolf's literary style and her exploration of human consciousness and emotions.
À propos de l'auteur
Virginia Woolf, born Adeline Virginia Stephen on January 25, 1882, stands out as one of the foremost Modernist literary figures of the 20th century. Her reputation is built upon her pioneering narrative techniques and a lyrical style that delved deep into the psychological depths of her characters. Woolf was a key member of the Bloomsbury Group, an assemblage of English writers, intellectuals, and artists. In her essay 'On Being Ill', Woolf explores the experience of illness and the solitary journey within. The piece adds to her illustrious body of work that includes novels such as 'Mrs. Dalloway' (1925), 'To the Lighthouse' (1927), and 'Orlando' (1928). Woolf's writing is characterized by its stream-of-consciousness approach, which seeks to capture the tumultuous flow of thoughts and feelings. Her work not only reflects her literary prowess but also her insights into the social issues of her time, including the status of women, which she notably discusses in 'A Room of One's Own' (1929). Woolf's influence on feminist criticism and contemporary literature is indelible, and her essays and novels continue to resonate with new generations. Plagued by mental health issues for much of her life, Woolf's personal struggles infuse her writing with an intimate understanding of human vulnerability. She died by suicide on March 28, 1941, leaving behind a legacy that forever altered the landscape of literary arts.
