ⓘ About Virginia Woolf
About Virginia Woolf Known for pioneering a stream of consciousness style, British novelist Virginia Woolf was truly a visionary during her lifetime. Creating a wholly different approach to narrative, she was extremely well regarded for her modernist take on the contemporary novel. Using the free-flowing stream of consciousness as her primary narrative device, she would take the story in a variety of different directions. It was a testament to her success and skill as an author that she’d never lose the reader, despite her experimental use of narrative.
