Quick Facts 25 January 1882 – 28 March 1941. Daughter of Sir Leslie Stephens, a famous writer and biographer, and Julia Prinsip Stephen, famous model. Married Leonard Woolf, a writer, in 1912. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs. Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929).

Her Life in Brief One of eight children, four of which were step siblings. Educated by her parents and their vast collection of books. Raised in her father’s literary circle of friends including Victorian writers such as Henry James and James Russell Lowell. Both of her parents died by the time she was 22. Both deaths caused her to have nervous breakdowns. She would suffer from bouts of depression for the remainder of her life. Sexually abused by her step-brothers.

Her Life in Brief Formed the Bloomsbury Group, a group of intellectuals that included her future husband Leonard Woolf. The group was named after the house she and her sister moved into after the death of her mother. In 1917, she and husband started the Hogarth Press, which publish much of her work and that of other contemporaneous writers such as T.S. Eliot. In 1922, with the consent of her husband, she met and started a relationship with Vita Sackville-West. She wrote her book, Orlando, about Vita Sackville-West. On 28 March 1941, suffering from depression, Woolf put on her overcoat, filled its pockets with stones, and walked into the River Ouse near her home and drowned herself. Woolf's body was not found until 18 April 1941.

Her Work As a modernist writer, she consciously broke boundaries established by the previous Romantic and Victorian writers. She experimented with stream-of-consciousness and the underlying psychological as well as emotional motives of characters. Like other modernists, she became disillusioned after WWI, and her work reflected the changes taking place in society.

Modernist (Imagist) Poetry, Ezra Pound In a Station of the Metro The apparition of these faces in the crowd; Petals on a wet, black bough. —Ezra Pound (1916)

Ezra Pound The Tea Shop The girl in the tea shop Is not so beautiful as she was, The August has worn against her. She does not get up the stairs so eagerly; Yes, she also will turn middle-aged, And the glow of youth that she spread about us As she brought us our muffins Will be spread about us no longer. She also will turn middle-aged.

Gertrude Stein A Petticoat A light white, a disgrace, an ink spot, a rosy charm. (1914)

Gertrude Stein A Time to Eat A pleasant simple habitual and tyrannical and authorised and educated and resumed and articulate separation. This is not tardy. 1914
