As the owner of a 19th-century home, I often think about those lives lived here before us and what they must have been like.

It seems that the author experienced the feeling of something lurking at the edge of human senses, feelings, and powerful emotions. This unique story straddles prose and poetry, as does much of Virginia Woolf’s work.

Woolf’s unique writing talents came naturally from her well-read parents. Her father, Sir Leslie Stephen (he was knighted for his literary services), was the creator of the Oxford Dictionary of Biography.
