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.
A Room of One's Own is Virginia Woolf's most powerful feminist essay, justifying the need for women to possess intellectual freedom and financial independence. Based on a lecture given at Girton College, Cambridge, the essay is one of the great feminist polemics, ranging in its themes from Jane Austen and Carlotte Brontë to the silent fate of Shakespeare's gifted (imaginary) sister and the effects of poverty and sexual constraint on female creativity.

评分一直觉得,女人读男人的作品和女人读女人的作品的阅读感受是不同的。后者是一种审视,是一个通过阅读认识外部世界的过程;而前者,更多的是一种体验,是一个在她人的文字中寻找自我认同的过程。伍尔夫是一个在乎自我感受超过关注外部世界的人,我也是,所以我喜欢她。她的关于...

评分伍尔夫是一位女性主义的先锋,是我非常崇敬的一位女性。她说,一个女人要写作的话,最起码要有两样东西,一是有钱,二是有一间自己的屋子。 经济独立了,你就可以做自己想做的事情,写作,环游世界,或是思考人生…… 一间自己的屋子,就拥有了一个让自己的心智完全独处自由的...
大学期间读,只记住了一些文学史细节和那句快要变成cliché的话。如今,当我强烈地意识到自己在公共生活和私人生活中无法回避的女性身份和困境,真的读到热泪盈眶。“Much of what flames in my eyes will seem dubious to you who have not yet come of age.”伍尔夫说的一点都没错。
