- 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.

A great documentary, well-enunciated, and supported by an interesting selection of photos and film footage. Well done!
The fact I am not competing with back ground music is joyful
This is an amazingly detailed and, sometimes, painfully intimate portrait of Virginia Woolf.
That’s part of her beauty, the intimate pains that she shared in her writings.
What a gem! It's so difficult to find quality programmes such as this on today's TV channels. I never knew the history of Virginia Woolf's life. Thanks for posting.
Leonard is an unsung hero.
Excellent documentary! Thank you.
Thanks for making this available. So kind of you.
Your research is fantastic ! Great job !
Thank you for this documentary 💯🙏
It was like going back to that period.
Love your well researched channel. Thank you
🙏🙏 And thank you for being here
Love Virginia Woolf and her works like Mrs. Dalloway and Orlando, etc. She wrote such beautiful poems as well.
Наверное, их лучше читать на английском? Переводы всегда хуже 🥺
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful documentary :-) I enjoyed it so much. Greetings to you from Denmark.
Boy, have times changed. I appreciate this documentary very much. Thanks.
Thank you for this great documentary!!
Virginia Wolf is one of my absolute Favorit writer!!❤
We're so fortunate to have access to meds, therapy and people to reach out to, internet wise.
Back in those days, how very lonely and how difficult it was.. To think that she had to deal with this mental illness.
I'm enjoying this channel's videos because they tell the life stories of well known writers, most of whose lives I knew very little or nothing. Thanks!
Thank you and welcome to the channel!
Me too 😊
Fascinating author.
This was so interesting! Thank you…
Thank you it was a wonderful review of her life
Thank you i enjoyed this immensely, very interesting.
A great documentary, much thanks ❤️
thanks for this. this vid was quite insightful
thank you for this but next s. t. coleridge documentary please please 🙏
If I were forced to pick a single narrator, it would be this one.
Fascinating evocation of the time and of the 'Bloomsberries'. Two requests: Ronald Firbank and William Gerhardie...
Brilliant video.
Thank you.
I've visited Rodmell and Charlston.
I love both too
Beautifully put together. An infelicity though at 25.40: Vanessa was married to Clive Bell - Quentin was one of Vanessa’s three children: the others being Angelica Garnett and Julian.
I never knew VW This is indeed an excellent documentary.
Very interesting documentary.
She’s the queen of the longest sentences ever. Reading it right now
Great video, could you possibly link your sources? Thanks🙂
I enjoyed this emensly Thankyou.
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.
Excellent documenntary! Virginia was a brilliant woman!
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).
Excellent thanks.
Very interesting documentary. Thanks. Wish I had met You, Ginia! So refined and truly intellectual!
Please Could you do Katherine Mansfield one day? You do them so well. Thank you.
What an entertaining bio.well spoken with good pics.thanks
Such a beautiful male voice and narration! I wish that I could hear such a voice every day!
I love the dry dullness of his voice. The undertone of bland British sarcasm is brilliant as well. ❤
Could you provide a documentary about Kate Chopin, thank you!
So kind of you
Excelent video
beautiful documentary- thank you
Very similar to an earlier video of Virginia Woolf
Thanks.
YES! Love it
Beautifully done, superb, and a few photos I’ve never seen. Thank you so much!
The overbearing music interfered with this otherwise interesting piece.
great thanks from Azerbaijan, Baku👏🏼
It is a really informative documentary about Virginia Woolf.
Really want to listen to this - but the music is just too loud. It’s a pity as I really enjoy such videos.
Hmmm. It just occured to me that my husband’s grandmother was a Woolf (spelled that way).
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
She left a suicide note. I read it years ago in college. She could stand the madness. So sad.
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.
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.
Traducir castellano!!! Por favor
She looks haunted as a young woman.
Hello how are you doing?
I understand what you went through Virginia and being sensitive and depressed life long is unbearable. But you made use of your gift in spite of it.
Is this Roy Dotrice?
Very interesting she had a sad life in a lot of ways
I am Autistic. I wondered, after listening to this particular story, if perhaps she was also on the spectrum. It's just a thought and I pray no one takes offense to the speculation...
Virginia Woolf is my all-time crush. The way she wrote makes me yearn to be her. . .or just a part of her.
Красиво сказано ❤
i read leonard woolfs novel about a village in ceylon . I believe it is considered a classic in ceylon . It was quite good actually . It is so sad that pearl buck won the nobel prize in literature instead of Virginia Woolf. I would call it an outrage to be frank ! And a travesty .
There's the deserving and undeserving poor.
Help the POORER MIDDLE CLASS and REAL WORKING CLASS WHO: APPRECIATE FREE EDUCATION/LIBRARIES/COUNCIL HOUSES/PARKS, etc.
Gooď
Adorable Virginia ❤
مريم فيرجينيا ❤ ..
Winnie Wallace.....The piano playing in the background is so annoying...
Great artists have pain period.
All I remember is, who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, or I'm thinking of something else
I did not know she tried suicide so often. The inside life!
"What could be more serious than the love of man for woman, what more commanding, more impressive, bearing in its bosom the seeds of death; at the same time these lovers, these people entering into illusion glittering eyed, must be danced round with mockery, decorated with garlands"
--Virigina Woolf
"Love is not self-sacrifice, but the most profound assertion of your own needs and values. It is for your own happiness that you need the person you love, and that is the greatest compliment, the greatest tribute you can pay to that person" --Ayn Rand
Love Ayn Rand
Rand is trash.
XDDDDD
I love you Virginia.
❤❤❤
Lose the music. Speak more loudly.
ABRUPT ENDING
Wow TH-cam so greedy you are like you need the extra money
Woolf sorry mispelled
It was rumored MS Wolf sleped
with her stepbrother
We lived, u meant not the 7 servants?
The lethal 'self pity', kills many....
She had no self-pity whatsoever. She just experienced periods of mental illness. She had a glorious, full, productive and creative life.
at x2 speed this bearable
The patriarchy filter in this documentary is blaring. ugh.
It's a pity as the video is beautiful but the commentary is just a succesion of misogynistic and homophobic lies that were spread about her.
@@MarDelsol cope, Karen.
Lmao i'd say cope incel but you are more the kind of person who takes guns to shoot schools. @@candide1065
Virginia wolf Beautiful cbeautiful creative ahead of our think she was a lesbian but movie she was bi
I admit I haven't looked into her sexual preferences, but certainly ahead of our time
Hardly the most important aspect of her character. Is people's sexuality no longer their own business. I will never understand people's obsession with other peoples sexuality.
@@TheSapphire51 thank you- then shouldn't heterosexual people have that description attached to their names,? M..a heterosexual writer ,etc. If not, then why do we hear, M.., a gay writer, etc.
@@maroulio2067 well I don't disagree with you but why should we mention peoples sexual orientation in that context in the first place. What has it got to do with anything public. It is only relevant in private matters. As far as I am concerned it is the least interesting aspect of another person.
@@TheSapphire51 Well he shouldn't have said she was frigid in his documentary. She wasn't at all, she was just homosexual hence felt no desire for men. When a documentary says lies about someone it's only fair to set the record straight.
only the mentally ill know the living death of it
Another made up story
By… Virginia… Woolf. Right, that’s done. OK! I’ve rolled my cigarette. Written Mrs. Dalloway. What do I need to do now? Come on V, think! Get your A into G.
the Wolfe girls were so abused
cringe
I always will say it, people need Jesus for true peace.
American, perhaps?
could only get through 10 minutes of this highly prejudice documentary for of unsubstantiated bias.
so glad i found this 🫶🏻
XDDD
Sick father
