“The writer's “self” and Virginia Woolf's search for a creative woman in “A Room of One`s Own”

Abstract

Virginia Woolf is one of the leading literary figures of the first half of the twentieth century in English literature. Wolfe was one of the most active members of the Bloomsbury group. Bloomsbury was an elite group of intellectuals, writers, artists and Cambridge alumni of English society. Woolf considered herself a spiritualist, that is, not a material world, but a spiritual, moral world and inner feelings of a human was of great importance for her.
Under the influence of three great writers – James Joyce from Ireland, French writers Marcel Proust and Franz Kafka – who are the true geniuses of modernism, Virginia Woolf prefered modernism in literature and called this period a “fragmentary period of consciousness”.

Written in 1929, “A room of one`s own” is considered one of the greatest works of the era, covering in detail the themes of women's freedom, as well as the role of women in literature and creativity in the feminist movement. Reading the book, we actually see that Virginia Woolf is in search as well. The writer as her readers, is searching for answers to her questions. Why do women occupy so little
space in literature? The author calls on women and states that they must also reveal their talents, which they have had to hide so far. Now they must also perform plays like Shakespeare, compose works like Beethoven.
The works of V.Wolf are based on such ideas that always sound modern for creativity, and many of the problems that she emphasized in her works have always been and are faced by people.
