Virginia Woolf is now recognized as a major twentieth-century author, a great novelist and essayist and a key figure in literary history as a feminist and a modernist. Born in 1882, she was the daughter of the editor and critic Leslie Stephen, and suffered a traumatic adolescence after the deaths of her mother, in 1895, and her step-sister Stella, in 1897, leaving her subject to breakdowns for the rest of her life. Her father died in 1904 and two years later her favourite brother Thoby died suddenly of typhoid.

With her sister, the painter Vanessa Bell, she was drawn into the company of writers and artists such as Lytton Strachey and Roger Fry, later known as the Bloomsbury Group. Among them she met Leonard Woolf, whom she married in 1912, and together they founded the Hogarth Press in 1917, which was to publish the work of T. S. Eliot, E. M. Forster and Katherine Mansfield as well as the earliest translations of Freud. Woolf lived an energetic life among friends and family, reviewing and writing, and dividing her time between London and the Sussex Downs. In 1941, fearing another attack of mental illness, she drowned herself.

Her first novel, The Voyage Out, appeared in 1915, and she then worked through the transitional Night and Day (1919) to the highly experimental and impressionistic Jacob's Room (1922). From then on her fiction became a series of brilliant and extraordinarily varied experiments, each one searching for a fresh way of presenting the relationship between individual lives and the forces of society and history. She was particularly concerned with women's experience, not only in her novels but also in her essays and her two books of feminist polemic, A Room of One's Own (1929) and Three Guineas (1938).

Her major novels include Mrs Dalloway (1925), the historical fantasy Orlando (1928), written for Vita Sackville-West, the extraordinarily poetic vision of The Waves (1931), the family saga of The Years (1937), and Between the Acts (1941). All these are published by Penguin, as are her Diaries, Volumes I-V, and selections from her essays and short stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Roger Fry and Virginia Woolf
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2013
Virginia Woolf's biography of Roger Fry is an excellent book and I am surprised it is not better known. It sheds light on how the Modernists viewed their late-Victorian upbringing. For the childhoods of Virginia Woolf and Roger Fry had much in common despite a difference in their ages and their social periods. The book also has interesting passages on the recurring madness of Roger Fry's wife, Helen. One cannot help seeing these passages as precursors to Virginia Woolf's final note to her own husband when she felt herself going mad and drowned herself. For anyone interested in the social background of the period 1866-1934, this is a very interesting and insightful book. Even the omissions - Woolf does not discuss Fry's family, his father and sisters, though they were important in themselves and important to him - even these omissions are interesting. Apparently, the Modernist project can describe the move away childhood and childhood family and the formation of the independent adult but not the return as an independent adult to those same people, places, values and social institutions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Roger Fry
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2000
This biography is written by one of the best writers of the 20th century and concerns one of the most influential art critics of visual art. Roger Fry loved traditional Italian art and was converted through a very gradual and natural process to become an advocate for modern art. Roger Fry came to see and apprecaite his contemporaries in visual art as making and having made important contributions. Time has proved Roger Fry correct and his critics wrong. Who among us doesn't not know that van Gogh, Gaugain and Cezanne are important artists? Virginia Woolf is a perceptive and excellent writer. This is her only bow to biography. It is a pleasure to read about a significant personality written by such a good writer.
