ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf was born in London on January 25, 1882, the daughter of Sir Leslie Stephen, a distinguished writer and historian of Victorian England. From an early age linked to groups of intellectuals, she married Leonard Woolf in 1912 and with him founded the publishing house Hogarth Press, responsible for the revelation of authors such as Katherine Mansfield and T. S. Eliot and for the publication of her own works. Recognized as one of the most prominent figures of British modernism, her works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), Orlando (1928) and The Waves (1931), as well as the essay A Room That Is Yours (1929). After successive depressive crises and unable to bear the isolation caused by the worsening of the Second World War, he committed suicide on March 28, 1941, in Lewes.
