Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) non potè ricevere un'istruzione universitaria, ma ebbe la fortuna di crescere in una famiglia che fin dall'infanzia la stimolò con quanto di meglio offriva la letteratura e la cultura dell'epoca. Nel 1905, dopo la morte dei genitori, si trasferì a Bloomsbury ed è da questo momento che prende avvio la sua carriera nel mondo letterario e culturale inglese. Da allora infatti comincia a scrivere per il «Times» ed entra in contatto con molti importanti intellettuali, anche grazie al Bloomsbury Group che ha creato, conoscendo quello che diventerà suo marito, Leonard Woolf. Insieme a lui fonda la casa editrice Hogarth Press, che a partire dal 1917 pubblicherà le opere della Mansfield, di Freud, Eliot, Joyce e della stessa Virginia. Il 28 marzo del 1941, al culmine di una delle crisi depressive di cui soffriva da anni, si annegò nel fiume Ouse, non lontano dall'amata Monk's House. Tra i suoi libri più famosi ricordiamo "Mrs Dalloway", "Gita al faro", "Orlando", "Le onde" e "Tra un atto e l'altro".

A Room of One's Own. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Virginia Woolf   -  Passerino, 2015  - 

A Room of One's Own is an extended essay by Virginia Woolf. First published on 24 October 1929. The title of the essay comes from Woolf's conception that, "a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction". Woolf notes that women have been kept from writing because of their relative poverty, and financial freedom will bring women the freedom to write; "In the first place, to have a room of her own... was out of the question, unless her parents were exceptionally rich or very noble". The title also refers to any author's need for poetic license and the personal liberty to create art. The essay examines whether women were capable of producing, and in fact free to produce work of the quality of William Shakespeare, addressing the limitations that past and present women writers face.Adeline Virginia Woolf (25 January 1882 – 28 March 1941) was an English writer and one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century.

To the lighthouse. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Virginia Woolf   -  Passerino, 2015  - 

"To the Lighthouse" is a 1927 novel by Virginia Woolf. Following and extending the tradition of modernist novelists like Marcel Proust and James Joyce, the plot of To the Lighthouse is secondary to its philosophical introspection. Cited as a key example of the stream-of-consciousness literary technique, the novel includes little dialogue and almost no action; most of it is written as thoughts and observations. The novel recalls childhood emotions and highlights adult relationships. Among the book's many tropes and themes are those of loss, subjectivity, and the problem of perception. Virginia Woolf (25 January 1882 – 28 March 1941) was an English writer and one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century.
