Paul 'scruffy' Martin looks around the house of Adeline Virginia Woolf (25th January 1882 - 28th March 1941) who was an English author, essayist, publisher, and writer of short stories, 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." On 28 March 1941, Woolf put on her overcoat, filled its pockets with stones, and walked into the River Ouse near her home and drowned.

  • Well,, Great video :D

  • This is a great glimpse of Monk's House. My husband and I will be visiting there next year. Thank you for giving us this brief tour.

  • Who is this host? He's so spastic! And why does he call the Bloomsbury Group "infamous" rather than merely "famous"?

  • I would definitely not describe Virginia Woolf as sexually "confused". Her relationship with Vita Sackville-West had a profound influence upon her writing and her understanding of an erotic Self. I think their relationship was exploratory, yet mature.

  • Not terribly far from my neck of the woods in Hove,,,I'm going again tomorrow afternoon to see the "Radical Bloomsbury" exhibition..I love living in this part of the country,I find it very inspirational myself..Hope to visit here one day,many thanks..Sophie:))

  • This is wonderful.  Thank you so much for sharing it.
