The Virginia Woolf Collection - If you've always meant to read the works of the mother of literary modernism, Virginia Woolf, now is your chance. The Virginia Woolf Collection includes: "The Voyage Out," Woolf's first novel, "Night and Day," an examination of English class structure portrayed in the love affair of an upper-class woman and a middle-class man, "Jacobs Room", Woolf's heartfelt roman-a-clef about the life and death of her brother Toby, who died of Typhus while accompanying Woolf on a vacation to Greece, and "Monday or Tuesday," a collection of short stories.
Virginia Woolf was born on January 25, 1882 in London. Her mother was a member of the Duckworth publishing family, and her father was a literary critic and founder of the "Dictionary of National Biography." Both Virginia's parents had been previously married, and she and her three siblings had four stepsiblings, one of which, Gerald Duckworth, sexually abused her.
Following her mother's death when she was 13, Virginia suffered the first of many nervous breakdowns. Another breakdown followed her father's death in 1904, after which she and her three siblings moved into a house in London's Bloomsbury neighborhood. That house became the gathering spot for such luminaries as E. M. Forster, Lytton Strachey, Dora Carrington, John Maynard Keynes and Clive Bell, all of whom became known as the Bloomsbury Group.
In 1912 Virginia married political theorist Leonard Woolf, and together they founded the Hogarth Press. In 1925, she published perhaps her most famous novel, "Mrs. Dalloway" on which the movie "The Hours" is based. In 1923, Virginia met and began a scandalous and passionate love affair with fellow writer Vita Sackville-West, and Woolf's 1928 novel "Orlando" is an extended love letter to Sackville-West to whom she also dedicated the book.
On March 28, 1941, fearing that mental illness would engulf her again, Woolf filled her pockets with stones, waded into the River Ouse near her Sussex home, and drowned herself.
