(Adeline) Virginia Woolf was an English novelist and essayist regarded as one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century.
During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a member of the Bloomsbury Group. 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."
Рассказы Вулф в русском переводе довольно чудовищны, и я не позавидую тем, кто начал Вирджинию именно с короткого метра. Сложный синтаксис вкупе с русскими словами по двадцать тысяч букв могут вызвать в лучшем случае головокружение, в худшем — вы никогда не прочитаете Миссис Д. (а зря).
