  • Adeline 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.
    Woolf was born into an affluent household in South Kensington, London, the seventh child of Julia Prinsep Jackson and Leslie Stephen in a blended family of eight which included the modernist painter Vanessa Bell. She was home-schooled in English classics and Victorian literature from a young age. From 1897 to 1901, she attended the Ladies' Department of King's College London, where she studied classics and history and came into contact with early reformers of women's higher education and the women's rights movement.

    This documentary is too short and ends, alas, abruptly. It doesn't pay enough attention to her novels.
    But it's very well written, and the narrator is among the best I've ever heard.
    I've listened to it thrice the past few days while out walking in some grim winter weather, and next, I will watch it. 😊
    Leonard deserves respect and appreciation for caring for her so well.
    Thanks again, Paul.

  • @barrymoore4470
    @barrymoore4470 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    An elegant, informative portrait of this eminent artist, though I think the program would have been enriched by more attention given to the literature itself, its language and themes. I was also puzzled by the omission of 'Mrs Dalloway' in the citation of works, this having been published before 'To the Lighthouse', and not infrequently cited as readers' favorite novel by Woolf. Lastly, a few minor inconsistencies were noted, one being that Mary Anne Evans Cross (whose professional alias was George Eliot), mentioned at 3:56, had died in 1880, two years before Virginia's birth, hence could never have personally known her. Also, the surname for Toby Stephen is incorrectly given as "Stephens" at 13:04, and Little Talland is misspelled as "Tallend" at 21:22.
    Still, overall quite a helpful and engaging introduction to this vital twentieth-century writer.
    Edited to observe that the Wikipedia entry for Virginia Woolf has the spelling for her brother's name to be Thoby (full name Julian Thoby Stephen).

    Virginia Woolf is the very best. I am tired and don't have it now, but she is the very best. Not that it matters, but I am ABD on a PhD that I chose not to complete when I decided that I did not want to spend the rest of my life in the "Ivory Tower of Academia." I am considered an authority on "The Novel" as an art form. My favorite novel is To The Lighthouse. Obvs. Duh. : ) 💚 I am so tired. Thank you, Virginia. God, I love you.

  • @tom6693
    @tom6693 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    There's an inaccuracy just over 2 minutes into this biography. Showing a photograph of Virginia's mother, Julia Jackson Duckworth Stephen, the narrator informs us that she was the sister of Julia Margaret Cameron, the famous Victorian photographer. who took the picture. But that's not the case. Julia Stephen was Julia Cameron's niece, the daughter of Julia Cameron's sister Maria Pattle , who married John Jackson. This is not an auspicious way to begin.
