Woolf produced work that was innovative and writing which has had an enduring appeal since it was first published. We will explore Woolf’s exploration of the psychological background of her characters, look at how she spoke on issues relating to class, the position of women, the role of marriage in society and documented a changing modernising society.
The following texts will be considered:
