Adeline Virginia Woolf (née Stephen; 25 January 1882 – 28 March 1941) was an English writer and one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century.
During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a central figure in the influential Bloomsbury Group of intellectuals. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929), with its famous dictum, "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."
Woolf suffered from severe bouts of mental illness throughout her life, thought to have been what is now termed bipolar disorder, and committed suicide by drowning in 1941 at the age of 59.
Virginia Woolf was born Adeline Virginia Stephen at 22 Hyde Park Gate in Kensington, London. Her parents were Sir Leslie Stephen (1832–1904) and Julia Prinsep Duckworth Stephen (née Jackson, 1846–1895). Leslie Stephen was a notable historian, author, critic and mountaineer. He was a founding editor of the Dictionary of National Biography, a work that would influence Woolf's later experimental biographies. Julia Stephen was born in British India to Dr. John and Maria Pattle Jackson. She was the niece of the photographer Julia Margaret Cameron and first cousin of the temperance leader Lady Henry Somerset. Julia moved to England with her mother, where she served as a model for Pre-Raphaelite painters such as Edward Burne-Jones. Julia named her daughter after the Pattle family: Adeline after Lady Henry's sister, who married George Russell, 10th Duke of Bedford; and Virginia, the name of yet another sister (who died young) but also of their mother, Julia's aunt.

Playing January 21 - February 19, 2017 George and Martha invite Nick and Honey to their home after a faculty party. What awaits their late-night guests is not a welcoming nightcap but tempestuous verbal sparring fueled by alcohol and 20 years of marital dysfunction. Filled with acerbic wit, Albee’s play is both wildly funny and heart-wrenching, exposing the fears and secrets of both couples as the lines between reality and illusion blur. Aaron Posner directs and Holly Twyford stars as Martha.

They portray Woolf as a victim of the Freudian "family romance," reducing her art to a neurotic evasion of a traumatic childhood.but current knowledge about manic-depressive illnessits genetic transmission, its biochemistry, and its effect on brain functionreveals a new relationship between Woolf's art and her illness.

Conferencia que ofreció Laura Freixas, bajo el título "Virginia Woolf: huerto, jardín y campo de ballata", dentro del ciclo "Singulares", el 9 de mayo de 2013. Fundación Juan March. http://www.march.es http://www.march.es/conferencias/detalle.aspx?p2=894&l;=1 Huerto, jardín y campo de batalla; éstas son las coordenadas en las que la escritora Laura Freixas enmarca la figura de Virginia Woolf. Huerto y jardín, porque sus textos -novelas, ensayos, relatos, cartas, diarios, memorias- plenos de contenidos sustanciosos, también están articulados con una exquisita belleza. Y campo de batalla porque, tanto la obra como la biografía de Virginia Woolf, son objeto de interpretaciones contradictorias.

Documentary - Virginia Woolf Society of Great Britain. Adeline Virginia Woolf, 25 January 1882 – 28 March 1941 was an English writer and one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century. Since about 1908 Virginia had been writing her first novel The Voyage Out (originally to be called Melymbrosia). It was finished by 1913 but, owing to another severe mental breakdown after her marriage, it was not published until 1915 by Duckworth & Co. (Gerald’s publishing house). The novel was fairly conventional in form. She then began writing her second novel Night and Day - if anything even more conventional - which was published in 1919, also by Duckworth.

El título sólo es indicativo del punto central del programa, aunque eso no indica que el programa trate solamente de ese punto, de hecho, en la mayoría de los casos encontrarán otros temas, cuestiones narrativas en primera persona, digresiones. El método utilizado para comunicar ciertos temas es el mismo que han utilizado otros autores como Proust, Macedonio Fernandez, Balzac, Musil, Foucault, Borges y tantos otros, entre ellos, muchos del cine y la música.

I let the light sink inside my skin just so I can breathe again
Balancing the weight between creepy and obsessive
The world of the weight's on my back, backwards, wait
Words back me in a way, I need to be accepted
Everything is relative, the world is full of skeletons
Dancing to the rhythm to pretend that they're alive
But I don't got a bone to pick especially when they're broke and hit
The funny one, it's cumbersome to wonder why they try
A fifth in my right hand, quarters in my left
Until my half-life is a hole inside my chest
If I sit and listen with this individual diction
Is it indiscriminant or just a symptom of the sickness?
Or a metaphor of change?
To break a dollar, people write their letters for a chain
I'd rather write a chain letter, it's better for the pain
And the people in my life that always said I was insane
I'll throw a noose around the sun and be the pendulum
Tick-tock, tick-tock, I'll wait until the medics come
I'll be so high and so bright that if you want me back
You'll have to sit and watch the setting sun
Bring my body to the ground
Before they catch a breath they'll be calling it profound
Martyrdom for beauty's sake, decorates the landscape
As everybody's hands shake from quality they found
This is what it's like to taste the Heavens and dismiss the grace
Another year, another fake expression in a picture frame
Another birthday wish and still it didn't change
A lap around the sun never took me to a different place
But I have to keep floating
Until I meet Virginia Woolf trapped in sheep's clothing
I could be the stones in her pockets when we walk in
To the ocean and marvel at the coast until we sink
And as her lungs filled with water
She watched the sun spill across her
Until the mud filled her armor
Sea shells spelled “Our love still will conquer”
Nope, bubbles rose to the surface
Anchored down where the stones and the dirt live
Taste the ground that she chose to submerge in
“Oh, Vir-gin-ia Woolf, don't be ner-vous”
(No) With all the medicine, your head you said has driven you to go
And follow sadness, left for dead instead I'm diggin' up your bones
They're all intact and set up when I get to give ‘em all a home
An artifact that's Heaven-sent, I get to visit on my own
I'm alone now on the go-round
That broke down slow when I pulled my soul out
For sold-out shows full of ghosts of old doubts
And profound hopes that I don't control now
I know, somebody come and set me free
From the sea of an undetected grief
Some things that you love aren't meant to be
Bleeding hearts run out of blood eventually
So we can call her my atonement
A message in a bottle that I wanted you to open
It's a poem, a sorrowful devotion
That I left for you at the bottom of the ocean
