Eleven Books by Virginia Woolf
Requirements: ePub Reader, 14.5 MB
Overview: Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), English author, feminist, essayist, publisher, and critic, was born Adeline Virginia Stephen in 1882. Now regarded as a classic feminist writer, she proved to be an innovative and influential 20th Century author. The effects of bi-polar disorder at times caused Woolf protracted periods of convalescence, withdrawing from her busy social life. She died on 28 March 1941 when she drowned herself in the River Ouse near their home in Sussex, by putting rocks in her coat pockets.
Genre: Literary Fiction

The Voyage Out (1915): Virginia Woolf's haunting first novel follows Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose and their young niece on a sea voyage from London to South America.

Night and Day (1919): Virginia Woolf's second novel is both a love story and a social comedy in the tradition of Jane Austen; yet it also questions that tradition, recognizing that the goals of society and the individual may not necessarily coincide.

Monday or Tuesday (1921): The only volume of short stories that Virginia Woolf published herself - presents a series of eight exquisite fictional reveries. This collection of lyrical impressions is both deliberately fragmentary and startlingly experimental, and brilliantly hails her later masterpieces.

Jacob's Room (1922): The tale of Jacob Flanders, a lonely young man unable to reconcile his love of classical culture with the chaotic reality of World War I society, unfolds in a series of brief impressions and conversations, internal monologues, and letters. A sensitive examination of character development and the meaning of life, this 1922 novel features first-rate examples of Woolf's influential techniques.

Mrs Dalloway (1925): Past, present and future are brought together one day in June 1923. Clarissa Dalloway prepares for her party, remembering those she once loved. In another part of London, Septimus Smith is on the brink of madness. His day interweaves with Clarissa's.

To the Lighthouse (1927): This is the story of the Ramsays, based on Virginia Woolf's own family. Written in the stream-of-consciousness style, the book examines family relationships, the traditional roles of the sexes, the tensions and love between husband and wife and the resentment children can feel for their parents.

Orlando (1928): The deliberately fanciful story spans a time period from the 16th to the 20th centuries and takes the hero, Orlando, from being a handsome boy of 16 to Lady Orlando, experiencing historical insights through encounters with figures of the time.

The Waves (1931): This book presents a group of six friends whose reflections create a wave-like atmosphere that is more akin to a prose poem than to a plot-centered novel.

Flush: A Biography (1933): Flush was Elizabeth Barrett Browning's aristocratic pet cocker spaniel. In his biography, Virginia Woolf follows Flush's career from his birth in Berkshire and early years with the invalid, Miss Barrett, through to his kidnapping by London vagabonds and his dotage in Italy.

The Years (1937): The story of the Pargiter family - their intimacies and estrangements, anxieties and triumphs - mapped out amongst the bustling rhythms of London's streets during the first decade of the 20th century. The Pargiter children must learn to find their footing in a world of rapidly changing rules.

Between the Acts (1941): Outwardly a novel about country-house life, set in a house in whose grounds there is to be a pageant, this is an evocation of English experience in the months leading up to World War II. Through dialogue and humour, the author explores how a community is formed and scattered over time.
