Virginia Woolf
With the upcoming film version of The
Hours, one of the most influential and important authors
of the 20th century is back in the spotlight. Feminist novelist
and essayist Virginia Woolf (1882 - 1941) was known for her experimental,
stream-of-consciousness technique and, on a personal level, for
her mental instability. She drowned herself in 1941, fearing that
she would suffer a breakdown and not recover. Her most famous novel
was probably Mrs.
Dalloway, which, through the account of a day in one woman's
life, explores relationships between the sexes.
