Biographie de Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf, born in 1882, was the centre of the inter-war Bloomsbury Group, the bohemian set of artists and writers whose works would influence literature, aesthetics, feminism and economics. Between 1925 and 1931 she produced her finest masterpieces, including Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse and the poetic and highly experimental The Waves. She also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, journalism and biography, most famously A Room of One's Own (1929), a passionate feminist essay.
Suffering from depression, she drowned herself in the River Ouse in 1941.
