Quelques mots sur l'auteur

Virginia Woolf, born Adeline Virginia Stephen on January 25, 1882, in London, is considered one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century. Woolf's narrative style is noted for its lyrical prose, introspection, and the pioneering use of stream-of-consciousness. Her work explores the complexities of the human psyche, the subtleties of social interaction, and the role of women in society. 'To the Lighthouse' (1927), one of Woolf's most celebrated novels, exemplifies her innovative techniques and thematic concerns, particularly the quest for individual identity and the fleeting nature of time and experience. Woolf was a pivotal figure in the intellectual circles of the Bloomsbury Group and produced an extensive body of work, including other seminal texts such as 'Mrs. Dalloway' (1925) and 'Orlando' (1928). Her extensive essays, collected in volumes such as 'The Common Reader' (1925), showcase her incisive critical acumen and the breadth of her engagement with literary culture. Tragically, Woolf's life was marred by mental health struggles, and she died by suicide on March 28, 1941. Her legacy continues to influence writers and feminist theorists, sustaining her status as a central figure in the study of literature and gender studies.
