Virginia Woolf

Features of her novels  Marks important step in development of novel  Emphasis on subjective internal lives, not on external events,events not important in themselves but impressions they made on the characters who experienced them was important.  This involved revolution in narrative technique : shifted point of view inside her characters’minds  Abandonment of another convention of novel: chronological ordering of events  Therefore her novels involve constant shifting backwards and forwards in time according to sensations and recollections aroused in characters by events they are experiencing.  Two levels of narration:1)external events arranged in chronological order 2)flux of thoughts arranged according to associations of ideas.  All her novels rely on flimsy plots, focusing on internal thoughts,feelings and reactions. They follow the random associations of ideas as they come up.

Main events in her life  Born in London in 1882 into a very well educated family, grew up in highly cultural backgound.  her mother died when she was 13. Soon after 1st of series of nervous breakdown- affected her all her life.  Founded close circle of intellectuals, known as The Bloomsbury Group.  1912 married member of the group, the writer Leonard Woolf.  1913 after completing 1st novel “A Voyage out” attempted suicide.  With her husband she set up the Hoghart Press which published some of the most interesting literature of the time.  1925 Mrs Dalloway 1st successful modernist novel, one of most popular and accessible.  Developed her experimentation in “To the Lighthouse” 1927, The Waves 1931, The years 1937, Between the Acts 1941, Orlando  The first world war had had negative effects on her mental health, the second world war completely destroyed her nervous system and mental balance.  1941 after another nervous breakdown, fearing she was going to become completely mad, she drowned herself.

Stylistic features  Thoughts and feelings are connected without apparent logical sequence, although their syntactic structure remains well-formed.  Her prose is broken by semicolons,dashes, exclamation marks to convey the typical way of building the sentence as it develops in the mind.
