While social events, individual achievements, and disappointments form its narrative, Woolf's renowned modernist work is most remarkable for the rich, poetic language that expresses the inner lives of its characters: their aspirations, their triumphs and regrets, their awareness of unity and isolation. Separately and together, they query the relationship of past to present and the meaning of life itself. | \u003cb\u003eVirginia Woolf\u003c\/b\u003e (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, \u003ci\u003eThe Voyage Out\u003c\/i\u003e, in 1915 and between 1925 and 1931 produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, including \u003ci\u003eMrs. Dalloway\u003c\/i\u003e (1925), \u003ci\u003eTo the Lighthouse\u003c\/i\u003e (1927), and \u003ci\u003eThe Waves\u003c\/i\u003e (1931). She also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism, and biography, including the playfully subversive \u003ci\u003eOrlando\u003c\/i\u003e (1928) and the passionate feminist essay \u003ci\u003eA Room of One\u003ci\u003e’\u003c\/i\u003es Own\u003c\/i\u003e (1929).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKate Flint \u003c\/b\u003e(editor, introduction, notes) is a professor of art history and English at the University of Southern California.
