Virginia Woolf

Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, The Waves, Orlando. All of these titles, written by novelist and essayist Virginia Woolf, stand at the forefront of 20th-century literature. In this program, those who knew Woolf trace her life and prolific career from her childhood in London to her final days as a victim of mental illness and eventual suicide. As a leading member of the Bloomsbury group, Woolf’s impressionistic style and stream-of-consciousness techniques are examined through excerpts from some of her most famous works. A BBC Production.
