Virginia Woolf: A Home of One's Own
"There’s nothing I enjoy more than looking for houses."
Virginia Woolf was an author, essayist, diarist, and biographer. She is best remembered for being a founding member of the Bloomsbury Group and for her innovative stream-of-consciousness writing style in novels such as Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse.
Virginia also loved houses, and much of her writing was influenced by those she lived in or visited throughout her life. I will explore some of these in this biography, from her Victorian childhood home in Kensington to Monk’s House, the Sussex retreat she shared with Leonard.
