Virginia Woolf (1882–1941), one of the great twentieth-century authors, was at the center of the Bloomsbury Group and is a major figure in the history of literary feminism and modernism. She published her first novel,
The Voyage Out, in 1915, and between 1925 and 1931 produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, including
Mrs. Dalloway (1925),
To the Lighthouse (1927), and
The Waves (1931). She also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism, and biography, including the playfully subversive
Orlando (1928) and the passionate feminist essay
A Room of One's Own (1929).
