Entre 1924 e 1930, vemos, com força total, a Virginia Woolf que se imortalizou como uma das maiores figuras do modernismo e do século XX. Entre esses anos, Virginia publica e escreve a maioria das obras que a consagraram: em 1925, Mrs. Dalloway e O leitor comum, em 1927, Ao farol, em 1928, Orlando, em 1929, Um teto todo seu e, em 1930, esta no meio do processo de As Ondas, que lançaria em outubro do ano seguinte.Provavelmente no e coincidencia que essa intensa produço tenha coincidido com a volta de Woolf para Londres apos uma decada vivendo em Richmond, cidadezinha proxima. O ano de 1924 marcou a mudança da Hogarth House (que deu o nome a editora dos Woolf) para Tavistock Square, em Bloomsbury. Com o privilegio do distanciamento historico, nos nos surpreendemos ao abrir esse volume e ver, no dia 3 de janeiro daquele ano: "E quase certo que este ano sera o mais repleto de acontecimentos de toda a nossa (ja registrada) carreira". Em 9 de janeiro, tendo conseguido a casa, ela diz: "() a casa ja e nossa: & mais o poro, a sala de bilhar, com o jardim de pedras no alto, & a viso da praça em frente & dos edificios abandonados nos fundos, & da Southampton Row, & de Londres inteira Londres, tu es a joia das joias, & o jaspe & o jubilo musica, conversas, amizades, vistas da City, livros, ediçes, algo de central & inexplicavel, tudo isso esta agora ao meu alcance, como no acontecia desde agosto de 1913 ()." Em 5 de abril, quando se muda, diz: "Ah, a conveniencia deste lugar! & o encanto tambem. Voltamos dos teatros a pe, pelo meio das entranhas de Londres. Por que adoro tanto esta cidade? se ela e impiedosa & seu coraço, frio como pedra."E nesse periodo, ainda, que floresce seu caso romantico com a escritora Vita Sackville-West. "Gosto dela & de estar com ela, & do esplendor ela resplandece nas quitandas de Sevenoaks como uma vela acesa, dando longas passadas em pernas como faias, cor-de-rosa cintilante, cheia de cachos de uvas, toda enfeitada de perolas", "ela navega de velas enfunadas nas altas mares, enquanto eu sigo costeando pelos remansos", diz ela no inicio do romance das duas. Em 20 de maio de 1926, ela se pergunta: "Estarei apaixonada por ela? Mas o que e o amor? O fato de ela "estar apaixonada" (isso tem de vir entre aspas) por mim me excita & lisonjeia; & interessa. O que e esse "amor"?"Muito importantemente, so nesses anos que ela sente ter encontrado seu caminho literario. No meio da escrita de Mrs. Dalloway, ela anota: "Uma coisa a considerar em meu estado de espirito agora, que me parece indisputavel, e que finalmente perfurei o meu proprio poco, & nao consigo rabiscar com rapidez o bastante para trazer tudo ate a superficie. () sinto, finalmente, que sou capaz de cunhar todos os meus pensamentos em palavras. () Agora, imagine que eu possa me tornar um dos romancistas interessantes nao digo grandes mas interessantes? Estranhamente, apesar de toda a minha vaidade, ate agora eu nao punha muita fe nos meus romances, nem os considerava fruto de expressao propria." Quatro anos depois, em 1929, em meio a As Ondas, ela ja esta angustiada, em eterna mutaço: "Talvez seja melhor estar continuamente tentando encontrar novas coisas a se dizer, ja que a vida segue adiante. Inventar um estilo nar...

"Orlando: A Biography" is a fictional work published in 1928. Virginia Woolf was an English author, essayist, publisher, and writer of short stories, regarded as one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century. The novel is semi-biographical based and dedicated to Woolfs lover Vita Sackville-West. Well regarded for its impact on gender studies and the stylized approach in which it portrays women. Woolf allowed neither time nor gender to constrain her writing. The protagonist, Orlando, ages only thirty-six years and changes gender from man to woman. This pseudo-biography satirizes more traditional Victorian biographies that emphasize facts and truth in their subjects lives. "The Well of Loneliness" is a lesbian novel by British author Radclyffe Hall that was first published in 1928 by Jonathan Cape. It follows the life of Stephen Gordon, an Englishwoman from an upper-class family whose "sexual inversion" (homosexuality) is apparent from an early age. She finds love with Mary Llewellyn, whom she meets while serving as an ambulance driver in World War I, but their happiness together is marred by social isolation and rejection, which Hall depicts as typically suffered by "inverts", with predictably debilitating effects. The novel portrays "inversion" as a natural, God-given state and makes an explicit plea: "Give us also the right to our existence"."Carmilla" is narrated by a young woman preyed upon by a female vampire named Carmilla, later revealed to be Mircalla, Countess Karnstein (Carmilla is an anagram of Mircalla). Le Fanu presents the story as part of the casebook of Dr. Hesselius, whose departures from medical orthodoxy rank him as the first occult doctor in literature. The story is one of the earliest works of vampire fiction, predating Bram Stokers Dracula (1897) by 26 years.
