Virginia Woolf Collected editions

Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941) was an English novelist, essayist, and critic whose innovative prose and introspective narratives made her one of the central figures of modernist literature. Through her lyrical style and experimental use of stream of consciousness, she explored the inner lives of her characters with unmatched psychological depth.

Her most celebrated works — including Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and Orlando — blend intimate personal reflection with profound meditations on time, memory, and identity. Woolf was also a pioneering literary critic and a founding member of the Bloomsbury Group, whose influence reshaped early 20th-century British culture.

Both brilliant and unflinchingly honest about her struggles with mental health, Virginia Woolf left behind a legacy that continues to inspire writers and thinkers, her voice echoing in the search for truth, freedom, and the beauty of language.
