Critics Review
To The Lighthouse is one of the greatest elegies in the English language, a book which transcends time
It is an elegy for lost times and family life * The Week *
Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf was born in London in 1882. After her father’s death in 1904, Virginia and her sister, the painter Vanessa Bell, moved to Bloomsbury and became the centre of ‘The Bloomsbury Group’. This informal collective of artists and writers exerted a powerful influence over early twentieth-century British culture.
In 1912 Virginia married Leonard Woolf, a writer and social reformer. Three years later, her first novel, The Voyage Out, was published, followed by Night and Day (1919) and Jacob’s Room (1922). Between 1925 and 1931, Virginia Woolf produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, from Mrs Dalloway (1925) to The Waves (1931). She also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism, and biography.
On 28 March 1941, a few months before the publication of her final novel, Between the Acts, Virginia Woolf committed suicide.
