About this listen

Discover the remarkable life of Virginia Woolf....

Virginia Woolf ranks among the most influential writers of the 20th century. Embracing the Post-Impressionist times in which she lived, her novels reflect the artistic shift from romanticism to abstract. Plot mattered very little to Woolf. Her writing was a stream of consciousness outside of time and place. Her novels, including her best-known work, Mrs. Dalloway, invariably dwell on gender roles and the concept of reality.

Woolf suffered from mental illness throughout her life. Her inner torment formed the basis of much of her writing. Virginia made multiple suicide attempts and was institutionalized several times throughout her life as she feared a loss of control due to her increasing depression and manic episodes. Her husband, Leonard Woolf, with whom she had mainly a platonic relationship, remained supportive of her until her death.

On March 28, 1941, Virginia Woolf walked into the River Ouse wearing a heavy coat with pockets filled with rocks. Her body was found three weeks later.

Discover a plethora of topics such as:

  • A dysfunctional home
  • Woolf and the Bloomsbury Group
  • The making of a modern woman
  • Mrs.Dalloway
  • Virginia and Vita’s love affair

Why was this book read by a man.

,I find it very disconcerting, that a zipped version of the life of Virginia Woolf, be read by a man.

Especially in todays climate of women still fighting for our voices.

The book is short and to the point.
I would recommend this to anyone who may not be aware of the manny works by Virginia Woolf .

I myself , since listening to this book, will go back and reread some of her work.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
