During her lifetime The Years was one of Virginia Woolfs most popular books, and is considered to be one of the most powerful indictments of Victorianism ever written. Less experimental in technique than her previous novels, it opens in 1880 and follows the fortunes of the Pargiters, a middle-class family living in London. Mrs Pargiter is very ill; her husband leads a double life. Against this background the children follow a daily ritual of meals, outings and good works. In the final section, the children have grown up into the 1930s. They are ostensibly independent, yet they reveal themselves to be spiritually bound to their past. A work of fluid and dazzling lucidity, The Years traces the shifts of time through the dialogues, thoughts and feelings of individual members of the family, at the same time interweaving themes of change and continuity.
Orlando - A Biography is a novel by Virginia Woolf, first published on 11 October 1928. Inspired by the tumultuous family history of the aristocratic poet and novelist Vita Sackville-West, Woolfs lover and close friend, it is arguably one of her most popular novels. The book describes the adventures of a poet who changes sex from man to woman and lives for centuries, meeting the key figures of English literary history. Considered a feminist classic, the book has been written about extensively by scholars of womens writing and gender and transgender studies.Virginia Woolf (25 January 1882 28 March 1941) was an English writer, considered one of the most important modernist 20th-century authors and a pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device.
This story grew out of a lecture that Virginia Woolf had been invited to give at Girton College, Cambridge in 1928. It ranges over Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte, the silent fate of Shakespeares gifted and imaginary sister, and over the effects of poverty and chastity on female creativity.
