Drafting Paragraph 1: Biographical/Literary Context
Adeline Virginia Woolf was an English writer born in Kensington, London, England, UK, on January 25, 1882. She was one of the most influential modernist authors of the 20th century. Her literary contributions include pioneering the use of stream of consciousness narration as a literary device. According to The Movie Database, she is known for writing and has 19 known credits.
Drafting Paragraph 2: Legacy/Related Works
Her life and writings have been subjects of biographical study. The art historian and writer Quentin Bell, who was her nephew, wrote an acclaimed biography of her. Additionally, Anne Olivier Bell edited five volumes of the diaries written by Virginia Woolf. While her name is associated with the 1966 film Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, that production features a story about a history professor and his wife entertaining a young faculty couple.
