ART OF VIRGINIA WOOLF

Several years before marrying Leonard, Virginia had begun working on her first novel. The original title was Melymbrosia. In 1915 as The Voyage Out.

A year after the end of World War I, the Woolfs purchased Monk's House, a cottage in the village of Rodmell in 1919, and that same year Virginia published Night and Day, a novel set in Edwardian England. Her third novel Jacob's Room was published by Hogarth in 1922.

In 1925, Woolf received rave reviews for Mrs. Dalloway, her fourth novel.Woolf found a literary muse in Sackville-West, the inspiration for Woolf's 1928 novel Orlando, which follows an English nobleman who mysteriously becomes a woman at the age of 30 and lives on for over three centuries of English history. The novel was a breakthrough for Woolf who received critical praise for the groundbreaking work, as well as a newfound level of popularity.

In 1929, Woolf published A Room of One's Own, a feminist essay based on lectures she had given at women's colleges. The Waves (1931), which she described as "a play-poem" written in the voices of six different characters. Woolf published The Years, the final novel published in her lifetime in 1937, about a family's history over the course of a generation. The following year she published Three Guineas, an essay which continued the feminist themes of A Room of One's Own and addressed fascism and war.
